Mile 1 - Winchuck River, Crissey Airport, California border - March 9, 2009

Report Details

Mile 1 is the site for the new Crissey State Park & Visitor Welcome Center. Has been open only about 2 weeks. Minor trash on beach, such as tennis shoes, tangle of rope, plastic bottles. Next time I plan to take a garbage bag. Area landscaping is not bad, but the building itself is a travesty of design. I haven't seen so much concrete in one place since visiting Columbia River dams!Pleasant beach to walk on south side of Winchuck River, but north side completely blocked by large driftwood logs and debris.
