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. "Please feel
free to call John Keerseinaker at
676-9187 or Leslie Moscoso at
676-9858. to share your thoughts,
learn more about the plan, or enter
into a partnership agreement.
