The footbridge located on the trail to the lower falls has sustained significant structural damage and will need to be removed and replaced

For the safety of park visitors, the Parks and Lands division of Clark County Public Works has closed sections of trail in Lacamas Regional Park, near Round Lake. The footbridge located on the trail to the lower falls has sustained significant structural damage and will need to be removed and replaced. 

This process will take one to two years to complete, including environmental permitting. Fencing will be installed around the closed area and signage will alert visitors to the closure. Currently temporary signs, barricades and caution tape mark the closed area. Trail users can still access the lower falls via open trails. 

Visitors are reminded to never enter areas closed off by barricades, signs, cones, tape, fencing or other barriers, for their safety. To protect the area’s valuable ecosystem and visitor safety, visitors are also reminded to never follow unofficial trails or create their own trails or “shortcuts.”

A reopening date is unknown. Updates will be posted at clark.wa.gov/public-works/lacamas-regional-park.
