DIG DAY — Hagg Lake – 12/21
December 21 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
We will be building – and potentially finishing – new trail between the Cedar Grove (#32) and Woodpecker (#33) sections.
Meeting Location
- Scoggins Valley Park
- 50250 SW Scoggins Valley Road
- Gaston, OR 97119
- Eagle Point Recreation Area Overflow Parking Lot (look for signs; 1 mile northwest of the park’s main entrance on SW Scoggins Valley Road)
Scope of work:
A sideslope on the trail washed out several months ago. Washington County Parks recently
received permission for a re-route for the area. We are hoping to finish work started on December 7.
We will be building a trail on a steep sideslope. The trail will likely include:
◦ switchbacks
◦ crib walls or retaining walls
◦ armored (rock) swales
◦ rolling grade dips
• decommissioning the washed out trail
