EUGENE, Ore. - BLM announces the opening of Clay Creek Recreation Site, located southwest of Eugene, Oregon, on Friday, June 7, 2019. The delay in the original opening two weeks earlier was due to damage caused by winter storms, which resulted in numerous trees being uprooted and repairs needed to the water system. Clay Creek Campground has 21 overnight camping sites, two large day-use shelters, picnic areas, a ball field, vault toilets, and potable water.
According to a BLM press release, Clean-up from winter storms does continue along the Row River Trail. A temporary emergency closure of the entire trail is in place due to public safety concerns until the downed trees are cleared. Regularly scheduled maintenance along the trail is now expected to continue through July of 2019, and will include temporary, partial closures of the trail on week days. The project includes replacing six culverts, and repaving and crack sealing sections of the trail surface.
