The project will restore about 61 trail sites and replace bridges along the Metolius River. Sites adjacent to the river are bleeding sediment and affecting fish habitat. The log bridges are old and need to be replaced to protect public safety.
Location
Sites are located along the Wild and Scenic Metolius River, about 15 miles NW of Sisters, Oregon.
