The Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) provides funding for projects that provide or improve access to Federal properties such as the 22 islands that make up Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The intent is to encourage citizens to discover the natural treasures that can be discovered on their lands, and to engage in healthy physical exercise.
Ohio River Islands NWR management in cooperation with West Virginia Division of Highways, the City of Williamstown and the City of Vienna submitted proposals for funding of three projects in September 2020 and all three were selected for funding:
Project 1: Development of a road, parking and kayak launch at Spencers Landing in Vienna. $350,000 total project cost.
