San Juan Island National Historical Park
Location
This project is located on Cattle Point Road at the southern tip of San Juan Island in San Juan County, Washington State. Cattle Point Road extends north from Cattle Point at the southern tip of San Juan Island through San Juan Island National Historical Park (Park) to Friday Harbor. The Park is bordered by County and Department of Natural Resources lands. The project area is a section of Cattle Point Road within the Park and across the Natural Resource Conservation Area (NRCA) that extends along a curve for approximately 1,750 feet in an east-west direction.
Description
Coastal wind and wave action is eroding the base of the slope that supports the Cattle Point Road. As erosion continues, the roadway will fail and severely impact vehicular and non-motorized access to the Cattle Point area of San Juan Island. The purpose of this project is to ensure that vehicular and non-motorized access to the San Juan Island National Historical Park and land outside the Park on Cattle Point will continue in a manner which provides a safe and pleasurable experience for the public while protecting natural, cultural and recreational resources of the Park NRCA, and the island environment.
