Local treasure re-opens to the community

The Gibbons Creek Wildlife Art Trail, a true treasure in our community, re-opened to the public on Friday, nearly six months after a fire burned 148 acres of the 1,049-acre Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Washougal.

The timing for the re-opening of the full-length of the trail couldn’t have been more perfect. Weekend temperatures reached the mid-70s. Not a rain drop was in sight.
