Smith and Bybee Planning, Facilities/Access - Document - Smith and Bybee Lakes Wildlife Area Recreation Facilities Plan (Metro Regional Services, October 1999)

This plan evaluated options for parking, trailheads and a boat launch. It directed access away from turtle habitat areas as the main turtle nesting area was adjacent to the parking lot. The original parking was at end of the "turtle slough" and paddlers had to portage from there into Bybee Lake.
