$6.6 million project underway

COUGAR DAM: Crews from advanced American Construction of Portland have been busy while traffic has been blocked from crossing over the top of Cougar Dam. Details of the $6,650,000 in upgrades include the placement of a 480v electrical line across the Cougar Dam crest, concrete work, and repainting.

The work closure of Road NF-1993 will extend through this fall. It will reopen on September 29th.

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