131 consistent logo promoting the “water trail” created by the 46 composite public access sites and providing directional information leading users and tourists to the individual sites and viewpoints from and on SR-10, Canyon Road, and other major county roadways. Wayfinding signs are directional and are not meant to displace the individual public access site ownership signs erected at public access sites by Cle Elum, Ellensburg, P&RC, WDFW, BLM, and other agencies but rather to direct users and tourists on the approaching roadways to individual ownership sites. § River kiosks - design, manufacture, and install a comprehensive system of river kiosks at each public access site and scenic viewpoint that provide information on the complete public access plan and water trail along with safety guidelines as well as information on significant geological, ecological, environmental, and historical attributes visible at the site. The front panels should identify all public access sites and scenic viewpoints on the Yakima and Cle Elum Rivers and SR-10, Canyon Road, and other county highways along with appropriate information designating which stretches of the river are safe for different river uses, skill levels, and watercraft. The front panel can also identify the multiple agencies involved in coordinating the public access plan. The back panels can incorporate information currently included on P&RC, WDFW, USFS, BLM, and other signage as well as information on unique geological, ecological, environmental, and historical site attributes and attractions. National Water Trails System The National Water Trails System designates exemplary water trails of local and regional significance that originate on National Forest Service lands. The Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture may designate if the water trail is managed by a local management entity, such as a city or county, nonprofit organization, or interagency organization – as proposed here. The National Park Service (NPS) Rivers, Trails, & Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) administers the National Water Trails System in partnership with a collaborative federal interagency group. RTCA staff serve as a clearinghouse for information sharing and national water trail networking efforts including the National Water Trails System website (NWTS@nps.gov) providing access to technical assistance and funding for the implementation of water trail projects. Designation of the Yakima River Water Trail by the National Water Trails System could: § Increase tourism awareness and thus economic benefits to the county through the National Water Trails System website promotion. § Obtain assistance with stewardship and sustainability projects § Provide access to networking and training opportunities for implementation committee members and volunteers § Increase funding opportunities from federal programs as well as interested water trail nonprofit and for-profit organizations Designation by the National Water Trails System of the Yakima River Water Trail does not involve or require any form of land regulation nor would it conflict with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Heritage Area or Yakima River Canyon Scenic Byway designations.
