Public Meeting for Rooster Rock State Park, March 18

A public meeting for Rooster Rock State Park is scheduled for March 18. Park staff with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will present site development plan options for the park that include improving the park entrance and developing an accessible walking path along the Columbia River, while maintaining existing park features. Proposed improvements aim to increase interpretation and ranger-led educational programs that highlight the natural and cultural history of the Gorge, as outlined in the 2015 OPRD Columbia River Gorge Management Units Plan (available at www.gorgeparksplan.com, pages 154-57). The meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18 at the Corbett Fire House, 36930 E. Historic Columbia River Highway, Corbett. Another planning meeting will be held in May to review a preferred site plan option. A timeline for construction has not been set.
