Heavily sourced to unreliable-looking promotional sources (Advantage Marketing, Miplace, Visit Ludington, and Flickr have between them, counting multiple copies, more than half of the 48 citations). Many of the other sources appear to be individual studios or other primary sources. The only ones that appear to be in any way secondary sources are puff pieces in a local newspaper.

All photos of the artworks appear to violate Commons:Commons:FOP US and I have nominated them for deletion on commons; see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Mason County Sculpture Trail.

As such this appears to be very far from passing both WP:GACR 2b (reliable sourcing) and 6a (appropriately licenced images). It is also problematic with respect to 1b (layout; basically one big section with a short intro) and 4 (neutrality; this appears to be a promotion for a local visitor attraction with no neutral evaluation of its more global significance as a collection of artworks).

I think it is a quick fail.
