Size: 4 acres
Location: Klickitat County, WA
Acquired: 2020

The Catherine Creek area is exceptionally important due to its scenic, natural, cultural, and recreational resources. Friends’ purchase of this 4-acre parcel was part of a long-term plan to increase public access to this beautiful place.  

This 4-acre parcel was very degraded by decades of domestic uses, agriculture, and resource extraction. Friends staff worked to restore the property by removing debris and several buildings as well as planting native plants. 

Friends is working to transfer the property into public ownership. Friends has partnered with design firms Mayer/Reed and DAO Architecture to design this site with accessible recreation at the forefront.  Friends looks to work with partners to carry this vision forward in this highly popular recreation area.
