Yreka Creek Trail Development Project

Yreka Creek Trail Development Project

The proposed project includes the development of public access trails along Yreka Creek and within the Yreka Creek Greenway, as well as the installation of recreation facilities to include fixed and breakaway bridges, picnic tables, a trailhead parking facility, removal of floodplain constrictions, removal of noxious weeds, a and planting of native riparian and upland vegetation. In particular the Yreka Creek Trial Development Project proposes the following improvements: 1. Construction of approximately 5,000 square feet of asphalt parking lot at the Oberlin Road trailhead; 2. Surfacing of approximately 1,500 linear feet of existing trail to make it ADA-accessible; 3. Construction of approximately 1,900 linear feet of gravel trail; 4. Installation of 2 free-span bridges having approximately 100 linear feet of total length, including abutments and armoring; 5. Installation of up to seven "float-aside" seasonal water crossings or upland channel crossings, including abutments and armoring; 6. Installation of armored dip crossings along with two temporary seasonal wet crossings for construction purposes and three in-channel "Rosgen-venin" hydraulic features; 7. Installation of armored concrete dip and armored box culverts across overflow channel. 8. Installation of concrete, handicapped-accessible picnic tables and trash receptacles; 9. Creation of approximately 700-foot drainage swale that provides vegetative filtration of storm water; 10. Restoration of approximately 1 acre of floodplain by re-contouring flood constrictions, planting approximately 600 native plants and trees, and implementing erosion control measures; and 11. Development and installation of a bond acknowledgement sign, a trail and site identification map/sign, a chain-link fence along west side of Young property, and trailside interpretive signs and a trailhead drinking fountain.
