MEDFORD, Ore. – Construction work to install a new gate to the Table Rock Road entrance of TouVelle State Recreation Site will occur Dec. 7. The gate will be installed on the east side of the road entrance only. Access to the boat ramp, located on the west side of the road, will remain open. Park staff expect no interruptions to traffic on Table Rock Road during the construction, however they ask motorists and day-use visitors to be mindful of any workers present near the park entrance on Dec. 7. Nathan Seable, park manager, says the new gate will help enforce day-use hours at the park and help curb vandalism and improper use of the park’s facilities. Park hours are 7 a.m.- 6 p.m., Nov. – Feb. and 7 a.m. – 9 p.m., March – Oct. The new hours and gate use will go into effect Jan. 1, 2019. TouVelle State Recreation Site—a popular day-use area for group recreation, swimming and boating—is located along the bank of the Rogue River, about 9 miles north of Medford.
