The WPA had it's share of graft and waste to be sure. But what treasures came out of it! A lot of the infrastructure in our state and national parks are WPA. I have very fond memories of Giant City State Park near where I grew up. http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/Landmgt/PARKS/R5/GC.HTM The lodge is a WPA project: http://giantcitylodge.com/about/. Many of the bridges and trails in the park are too.
