Tom Shipler donates
property at Lacamas Creek
Tom Shipler, a Clark County resi­
dent and avid walker, recently do­
nated nearly 30 acres o f land, includ­
ing lake and creek frontage, to create
a public trail along Lacamas Creek
and the south shore ofL acamas Lake.
The donation will provide a continu­
ous greenway along the creek and
both sides o f the lake and become
part o f the county’s regional park
system.
S hipler w orked clo sely w ith
Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recre­
ation Services staff to develop his
vision o f a public trail and to use the
donation as leverage for trail devel-
opment grant funding. He repeat­
edly increased the size o f the dona­
tion to accommodate the trail devel­
opment. Mr. Shipler’s business part­
ner, A dolf Hurtrick, initiated the trail
project with a previous donation of
land.
The donation is part o f a larger
vision for a 320-acre project that
includes a golf course and mixed-
use development located west o f the
property.
Approximately 15 acres will be
donated to the Columbia Land Trust
(CLT). The CLT will hold the prop­
erty until further grant funds can be
obtained for possible park and trail
acquisition and/or development.
The land has been appraised at
$1,395,000 with three bridges ap­
praised at $420,000 for a total dona-
tionof$l,815,000.
Trail surfacing work is expected
to begin in early October, with con­
struction o f a trailhead parking lot,
restrooms and interpretive signage
to be initiated next year.
