Trout Lake Subarea Comprehensive Plan
Klickitat County is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan. Part of the process includes creating Subarea Plans for communities such as Trout Lake. The Trout Lake Community Council, working with the County, will be involved in this process.
In anticipation of that critical work, council member Pat Arnold – who has a great deal of previous experience in as a key team member for the May 7, 2010 Sub-Area Plan for Trout Lake – has prepared some introductory training documents for members of the council and the community who want to be involved in or knowledgeable about the process.
This collection of training and supporting documents will grow over time. We encourage you to read them, attend council meetings, and participate in the Subarea Planning process.

Trout Lake Subarea Comprehensive Plan - Never Adopted - May 7, 2010
This plan was never formally adopted by Klickitat County. At the request of, and formal authorization from, the Klickitat County Board of Commissioners, the Trout Lake Community Council started work in 2005 on a revision and update of the existing Trout Lake Subarea Comprehensive Plan. The Council set up a planning group, including Council and other community members. This group sent a draft plan to the County in 2010. Unfortunately, the plan was not adopted by Klickitat County. Nonetheless, it continues to serve as a guiding document for the Trout Lake Community Council. It contains valuable information and guidance for our Program of Work. The goals and policies described within are of particular importance.
