Saddle Mountain State Natural Area near Seaside will close October 14-18 for a hazard tree removal and tree thinning project to support public safety and forest health.
The work will take place throughout the park, including along the main roadway, prompting a park closure to maintain public safety. Both the Grindy Creek (lower) and Lewis & Clark (upper) gates on Saddle Mountain Road will be locked.
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) rangers and instructors will perform the work as part of an OPRD training for rangers who want to expand their skills.
The park might reopen as early as Friday, October 18. Please check the park webpage for updates.
