Trolley Trail Conservation Area

Description

This 12.34 acre property is just over one linear mile by one hundred feet of hard-packed trail that was the Washington Water Power/Medical Lake Railroad bed.  It includes wooded areas and is adjacent to a 200+ acre wooded tract of state land.  The trail, along with future donations, will eventually link with the Fish Lake Trail and the Centennial Trail.
