Hoko River State Park
Washington State Parks has begun a land-use planning project for Hoko River State Park,
including the Cowan Ranch Heritage Area near the towns of Sekiu and Clallam in Clallam County.
As planning progresses, check back for updated project information.
The planning project, also known as Classification and Management Planning (CAMP), includes
the four planning stages described below. The CAMP will address overall visitor experiences,
natural and cultural resources, use of the park’s historic structures, pastures, connecting trails,
and other topics of interest to the community and park visitors.
Stage One – Identify issues and concerns
The purpose of this stage is to understand what is important to the park community, what to change or save
in the state park. This helps get a sense of the range and type of issues that need to be considered through
the planning process.

Stage Two – Exploring alternative approaches
At this stage, the planning team suggests potential alternative approaches to address the various issues and
concerns raised by people in stage one. No preferred alternative is established; rather this is an opportunity to
understand the range of possibilities.

Stage Three – Preparing preliminary recommendations
The best ideas from the alternative approaches developed in stage two are combined into a preliminary plan
in this stage. The plan includes recommendations for use and development of land, changes to property boundaries
and ways to address issues raised during the planning process. Another important document completed at this stage
is the SEPA checklist that describes environmental impacts of the recommendations (available for public review
upon request).
