V iforccry 5prs Becomes County's First Park Site About the turn of the century, the waters of Klamath I.ake cov ered much of a tiny triangle ofl land which has since been closed at its base to form a roadbed for the Southern Pacific Railroad. In those early days a transpar ent stream of sweet water flowed down from the nearby hills into the lake, and journeyers, in their travels north or south, paused along its banks tn quench their thirst in the coolest, most refresh ing spring within miles. At certain times of the year. salmon clogged the stream and Indians, on their way north, would send youths w ith poles to drive the fish away so the remaining mem bers of their party could ford the stream without being disturbed by the teeming fish. Since then, the encroachment of, the railroad and the constructor of Highway 97 have, by Ihcii presence, taken away Mime of thi tranquility of the pastoral setlinf. familiar to most local people as Barclay Springs, located about 12 miles north of Klamath Kails. This year the Klamath Counl Park Commission will resume its efforts to restore some of the pas toral flavor the area has lost In recent times. The site where travelers oninary construction work was done at the park v. men win oner over night camping sites for vacation ists, excellent restroom facilities tation for sojourners proceeding equipped with hot and cold run- torseback or in wagons once paused to refresh themselves will jgain. this year, become a way north or south. Nearly seven acres of the area has been acquired by the County Park Commission from the Hagel stein Estate and the State Land Board for transformation into a county park. Last year, much of the prelim- ning water and electrical outlets, and the only public boat launching ramp on the east side of Klam ath Lake. A pedestrian bridge will take visitors across the stream which bisects the park. The county has expended more thus far. and this year it w ill dis burse additional funds to do land scaping, plant trees, surface the gravel boat ramp with concrete, and install picnic tables and facil ities. The modest estimate of the park commission is that much of the work will be completed before summer, when once again travel lers will make use of a site that one time was a favorite stopping than $18,000 in developing the area place in Klamath County - ACCESS TO EAST SIDE OF LAKE A gravel surfaced boat ramp providing access ".from Hagelstein Park to the aast side of Klamath Lake will be covered with concrete iwhen the county resumes work to complete the park sometime this spring. The boat .'ramp is the only public boat landing on that side of the lake. ST 2 j, ytf ir'pi 1 )'(: i .T? , -j, . ' A t a . St , FIRST COUNTY PARK The partially completed, seven - acre Hagelstein Parle (formerly Barclay Springs), will be landscaped and improved with the installation of picnic tables and planting of trees sometime before next summer.

The trout slid through the slower wators indifferent to lura or fly, but responded enthusiastically to the artificials when they were offered in dashing riffles farther downstream. LANDSCAPING NEXT PROJECT Rain muddies the usually clear stream, inter secting Hagelstein Park, which has been partially completed at a cost to the county of almost $19,000. The banks of the stream and land elsewhere in the park will be landscaped beginning (his year. Construction of the bridge and fencing of the area has been completed as part of the program to construct the park. JELP-WE INC.
