Castle Rock Gets $1 Million to Build Boat Launch

Castle Rock will use a $1 million grant to build a two-lane boat launch on the Cowlitz River in Cowlitz County. The ramp will be constructed of concrete with 8-foot-wide boarding floats to create two distinct launch lanes. Work also will include paving a parking lot, building a restroom and adding lighting, signs, a picnic table and trash cans. The project also includes constructing roads and pathways, installing a pay station, and making shoreline improvements. Castle Rock will contribute $339,754 in donations and another grant. See press release.
