Document Description
The proposed project would provide recreational access to a 6.3-mile section of the newly rewatered, 62-mile Lower Owens River. The goal of the proposed project is to develop facilities for recreational users to enter and exit the river and allow unimpeded navigation for non-motorized watercrafts, such as kayaks, standup paddle boards, and canoes. Currently, sections of the ORWT corridor are non-navigable due to the channel being partially or fully obstructed by vegetation and other occlusions, that emerged during a 90 year dry period. In order to establish the ORWT for non-motorized water craft, the proposed project would remove these occlusions by manual and machine methods.
