06-07-23 Temporary Closure Notice - Pickett County Park (Photo) - 06/07/23

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 7, 2023

 

*** TEMPORARY CLOSURE NOTICE ***

Pickett County Park

 

(Douglas County, Ore.) Beginning on Monday, June 12, 2023, the Douglas County Parks Department will temporarily close Pickett County Park, near Canyonville for a much needed pavement improvement project.  The project is expected to take about two weeks to complete.  The tentative project timeline is June 12, 2023, through June 23, 2023.  As with any project, unforeseen delays due to weather, equipment and material availability could possibly extend the anticipated project timeline.

 

We understand that this park is a popular destination for launching boats, fishing, swimming, picnicking, and BBQs, so park patrons are encouraged to select an alternate facility that will fit your needs amongst our large inventory of Douglas County Parks during this time.

 

Pickett County Park is located off I-5 Exit 98 at Canyonville, about one mile east of Canyonville off Tiller Trail Highway on Pickett Lane.  It sits in the shadows of a mature Douglas fir-stand on the banks of the South Umpqua River.  This park provides a nice spot for fishing, swimming during warmer months and picnics. A boat ramp also provides access to the river.

 

The Douglas County Parks Department appreciates the public’s patience as they continue to improve your recreational experience in our county parks. For more information, or to locate a park, campground or boat ramp near you, log onto the Douglas County Parks Department’s page on the Douglas County, Oregon Government Website at: https://douglascounty-oregon.us/265/Parks.
