Cody Horse Camp to Be Dedicated
September 17
RANDLE, WA ––A dedication celebration for
the newly constructed Cody Horse Camp on the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District
is being planned for Saturday, September 17, 2005. The dedication ceremony
will begin at 1 pm.
The new horse camp, conceived by former District Ranger Harry Cody, was
planned and constructed with the generous assistance of the Interagency
Committee for Outdoor Recreation, the Lewis County Chapter of Backcountry
Horsemen of Washington, and the White Pass School District Discovery Team.
The new campground is located 29 miles southeast of Randle, just off of
Forest Road 5600059. The public is invited to join the dedication ceremony
on September 17. The campground will formally open to the public following
the dedication. For this year, use of the camp is free and no passes are
required. This could change in the future as the recreation fee system
expands guided by recent fee legislation.
The camp features 16 pull through campsites, each with picnic tables,
fire rings, and highlines. The camp also provides a stock watering trough
and hand pump, a CXT vault toilet, and a large day use area with a mounting
assist ramp. The campground is located adjacent to the historic Klickitat
trail system, and the Klickitat Horse Trail 7A.
For additional information, please contact the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District
at 360-497-1100.
