TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 9, 1990 Forest service meets on recreational proposal The Heppner Ranger District met with local clubs and citizens to discuss the Upper Willow Creek Area recreational plan proposal on April 24. The area considered roughly includes Black, Arbuckle. Bald and Little Bald Mountains, and Cutsforth County Park. A general outlining was presented which includes the construction or installation of trails and other recrea tion related facilities over the next few years. Most notable were the construction of a trail head/par king area located at the top of Coal Mine Hill, and the Bald Mountain Trail. The trailhead will serve as a multi purpose facility. It may be utilized to access a number of trails propos ed for the area, as a snowmobile or pack stock loading/unloading area, or as a rest stop on the Blue Moun tain Scenic Byway. The Bald Moun tain Trail is a six-mile loop that would start at the trailhead, or even at the county park. It would traverse up Bald and Little Bald Mountains, then make its way back down to the park. From here it would follow Willow Creek up Coal Mine Hill back to the trailhead. The proposal calls roughly for the construction of 10-13 miles of trail to be constructed. In many places, game trails or existing roads will be utilized to reduce cost. However, clearing to meet standard re quirements for trails will still be a major portion of the work. Due to lack of funds, and time re quirements, it will take several years to construct the proposed amount of trail A forest service spokesperson says they hope to draw support from local groups and citizens, to help in constructing the trail and other facilities proposed through the donating o f materials or volunteer ing to construct a certain portion of trail. The Forest Service is now taking under consideration comments solicited from the meeting and im plementing these into the area plan. This is not to discourage those in terested in expressing their concerns, said the Forest Serv ice.
