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.

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 park will offer
overnight facilities for tourists and a picnic area for daytime visitors. When com
pleted, the park will be the first such facility to be administered by the Klamath Coun
ty Park Commission.

TROUT BETRAYED BY CLEAR WATERS A paddle carefully manipulated by Alotrl
co glides our canoe silently toward a school of trout feeding near a log on the fringe
or a deep pool, transparent waters betrayed rainbows more than IB inches long
cruising along a rivar bottom sometimes more than 1 0 feet deep. 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.
