Document Description
Work to increase accessibility of park facilities to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Work includes:
- Construction of a boardwalk, maximum approximately 1,350 linear feet, over portions of the existing trail that parallels Old Kelsey Creek and extends to the mouth of the creek at Clear Lake and the loop trail near the campfire center. The existing trail is often inundated by high lake levels preventing access and causing visitors to impact other areas of vegetation trying to avoid wet areas.
- Conduct hardening and leveling of the other portions of the above trails and on the existing trail from the footbridge over Old Kelsey Creek to the Swim Beach, using aggregate and native soil.
- Remove approximately 600 square feet of deteriorated asphaltic concrete trail and replace with compacted aggregate surface of the same square footage.
- Construct a new fishing pier on the south side of Old Kelsey Creek, west of the footbridge, approximately 100 square feet in size and cantilevered over the creek.
- An existing volunteer (unauthorized) trail that occurs in wetland will be removed by decompacting and revegetation using native wetland plant species. Additionally, signs will be placed in appropriate locations near wetland directing visitors to stay on boardwalk and not stray into sensitive habitat.
