Blue River, Ore --

Travelers visiting the McKenzie River National Recreation Area may need to plan alternate travel routes to the area’s trails and campgrounds.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will close both lanes of Road NF-1993 across Cougar Dam, Mar. 18 from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. USACE is closing the road for construction work on the dam’s spillway gate.

There will be additional road closure dates this summer that are currently unknown. USACE will notify the public when the closure dates have been determined.

Visitors may need to plan alternate routes to access these trailheads: Lower Echo/East Fork, Upper East Fork, Upper Lowder Mountain, and Pat Saddle.

Recreation visitors should visit the U.S. Forest Service McKenzie River Ranger District’s web page at www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/willamette/recarea/?recid=4210 for more details on recreation facility availability.
