The well-known wooden bridge spanning the East Fork Lewis River at Moulton Falls Regional Park is once again welcoming visitors. After a closure that started this past summer for preservation efforts, the bridge, along with the trail and certain areas of the park, has reopened. The necessary work, performed by a contractor, included minor repairs to uphold the bridge's structural stability and a new coat of wood stain to shield it from the elements.

In a statement obtained by Clark County Public Works, they detailed the scope of the intervention, which was aimed at extending the life of the iconic structure. While closed, the surrounding trail and parts of the park that were inaccessible to the public can now be enjoyed again. The project focused on the immediate safety and the long-term resilience of the bridge against wear and weather.

More details about the park can be found on the Clark County Washington website, including information on the natural attractions and amenities available. The park, known for its scenic waterfalls and hiking trails, is a cherished spot for locals and tourists seeking the tranquility of nature within the Pacific Northwest.
