Go Take a Hike in Clark County.
“Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation recently partnered with Kaiser Permanente and local public land managers to publish a free trails map. The Clark County Trails Map was developed in order to improve access to, and awareness of, local trails throughout the county.
The map includes a large countywide map showing trail locations. It also provides more detailed maps and information about features, length and difficulty for six highlighted regional trails: Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, Captain William Clark Park Trail at Cottonwood Beach, Columbia River Renaissance Trail, Frenchman’s Bar/Vancouver Lake Trail, Moulton Falls Regional Park Trail, and the Salmon Creek Greenway Regional Park Trail.”
The map also provides contact information for a variety of other city, state and federal trail providers operating in Clark County. You can view and download the map on-line on the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Rec website or pick one up for free at the following locations:
