The Tahuya I'eninsula, with
some 37.000 acres of land trader
the Department of Natural
Resources was one of six areas
selected for recreational
development, in conjunction with
the normal practices of timber
nl a n age inent, under a progranl
started by the l)epartment.
The developments will be
patterned after the one in the
Capitol F'orest in Thurston
County, which was a pilot,
development for the. department.
The plan includes five to eight
overnight and day use camping
areas large enough to
accommodate 10 to 12 families
overnight.
Other plans include
development of view points and
trails for horseback riding, hiking
and motor bike riding.
The first camp to be finished
was completed this fall and is
called Camp Spilhnan.
The camp area includes about
10 acres and is located on the
Tahuya River in a stand of
cottonwood and DoUglas Fir.
The present development
covers about two acres and
includes restroom and water
facilities, four picnic tables, for
day use, four tent camp sites and
" two trailer sites.
A special feature of the area is

Recreation Development Planned
"a small amphitheatre type of area
which can be used for group
gatherings and activities.
Work on the development of
the area, as with other projects in
the district, was done by boys
from the Mission Creek Youth
('amp.
Boys from tile youth camp,
which is operated by the
Department of Institutions and
houses about 45 boys in their
teens. The youths are sent to the
youth camp from the Cascadia
Diagnostic Center in Tacoma.
The boys do work in
reforestation, Christnlas tree
farming, road construction and
fire fighting in tile state lands
under tile management of the
Department of Natural Resources.
As the initial development of
Camp Spilhnan is concluded, the
developnIent of a second
picnicking and c;,mping site, the
Paul Sharpe Scenic l'icnic arca, is
being developed.
Located between Aldrich l,ake
and a high bank overlooking
Hood Canal, the area offers a
spectacular view of the Olympics
and tile shore of tile canal.
Of historical note is the
remains of an old log chute which
was used to send logs zooming
down the steep bank to the canal
after they had been yarded out of
Aldrich Lake.
The present development of
the area inch|des three picnic
tables, garbage cans and rest room
facilities.
Plans for the development of
the area include five to eight
overnight camping sites, along
with the day use picnic facilities.
Plans also call for trails to, be
extended along the ridge, which
provides the speclacular view.
Tile development is expected
to be completed by Sept. I, 197 I.
These, along with olher similar
small developments at other
points in the state lands will
provide additional outdoor
recreation area for lhe growing
number of people demanding this
type of facility.
