Jefferson County Non-Motorized Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan 2010 Chapter 3: Existing Facilities 2010 Plan Update: The multi-purpose trail inventory in the 2002 Plan shows the length of the Larry Scott Trail as 4.0 miles. This included both trail segments constructed to the County’s adopted standards and the existing “usage” trail on the railroad grade. Since the adoption of the 2002 Plan, Jefferson County has constructed additional trail segments. The constructed trail length is now 4.4 miles. Volunteers have developed additional segments that extend the trail to S. Discovery Road at the Discovery Bay Golf Course. These segments, while useable, are not constructed to the County’s standards and are not included in the current inventory. The remaining trail right-of-way has been acquired to the Milo Curry Road / S. Discovery Road intersection near Four Corners. Construction of the remaining trail segments is planned for substantial completion in 2011. The trail length will then be 7.6 miles. The remainder of this chapter was not revised for the 2010 Plan update. It has been retained in the original 2002 Plan format. Jefferson County, Port Townsend, Port Ludlow, Port of Port Townsend, Washington State, National Forest and Park Services, and other public and private agencies have assembled a significant inventory of non-motorized transportation and recreational trail systems within Jefferson County. These systems provide a variety of on and off-road opportunities for walking, hiking, bicycling, horse, and hand launch boat activities throughout the county. The 1998 County Comprehensive Plan provides a very limited description of the non-motorized transportation and recreational trail facilities in Jefferson County. This chapter provides a more detailed inventory that far exceeds the inventory in the Comprehensive Plan. Maps showing existing facilities as well as facilities proposed in this Plan are presented in Chapter 9 Development Plan Elements. 3.1 Jefferson County Jefferson County owns and has developed the following non-motorized transportation and on and off-road hike, bike, horse, and water trail systems.
