Approximately 1 mile starting in Grass Valley Park on NW 38th Ave. (going east) and ending at Utah St. Wide paved path. Moderate di� culty due to hills. Parking and restrooms located at trailhead in Grass Valley Park. Scenic creek-side path through � r trees, forested wetland and open space.
A network of trails cover the regional county park. The main trailhead is at the park entrance on NE Everett Rd with parking and restrooms near the beginning of Round Lake. The park’s picnic area and playground adjacent to Round Lake, contain � at paved trails. The park’s main interior trails are mostly compact gravel. Side trails are variable with stone to mud surfacing,
steep hills, and rocky pathways. Camas lilies bloom in the spring on the rocky outcropping above Round Lake. Lakes, creeks, waterfalls, wild� owers, native plants, and wildlife make this park a hiker’s favorite. One, three and � ve-mile loops can accommodate a variety of hiking experiences. The routes are popular for families, hikers, runners and bikers.
Approximately 2.6 miles from NW Drake to Round Lake. Trail is accessible from many of the main streets such as NE Dallas and NE Gar� eld. Unpaved. Can get muddy. Mostly Flat. Numerous street crossings. Travels alongside Georgia Paci� c Mill’s water ditch which supplies water for paper production. Ditch was hand dug by 125 Chinese laborers in about � ve months in 1884.
Connecting between the Lacamas Creek Trail and the Washougal River Greenway Trail is feasible along the NE 3rd Avenue sidewalk, crossing at the pedestrian signal at the intersection of Crown Road and NE 3rd Loop, then following the NE 3rd Loop sidewalk to Baz River Front Park.
This paved accessible trail along the Washougal River and the ponds on the south side of the River can be accessed from Baz River Front Park at NE 3rd Loop. The ponds were created from reclaimed gravel mining pits. A small gravel pull-o� accommodates 4-6 cars. The trailhead
connects to the boardwalk crossing wetlands at the northwest end of the trail. A long arching trail bridge spans the river a� ording views both up and down stream. The 1.1-mile trail weaves between the ponds frequented by ducks, cormorants, and occasional ospreys and bald eagles. The other end of the Greenway Trail is at the corner of Yale and NE 2nd Street, 2 blocks north of Goot Park. The trail crosses the Washougal River and o� ers access for bank � shing, wildlife observation and scenic views of the Washougal River.

TRAILSTrails are an important recreation asset to Camas. Many of our citizens participate in trail-related activities including hiking, nature walks, in-line skating, and o� -road bicycling. The below listed trails in Camas provide a good start for outdoor walking, running and bicycling experiences.
The Heritage Trail along Lacamas Lake is a long continuous nature corridor that receives considerable use. Paved trails adjacent to Round Lake and a network of trails in Lacamas Park and Lacamas Creek Park provide a good outdoor experience that is easily accessible to the public. The Washougal River Greenway Trail provides a di� erent, but equally rewarding, outdoor nature experience. An expanded network of trails is proposed for the Camas area that will provide linkages between parks and other parts of the community.
