Proposal for wheelchair access on part of Yahi Trail and new bridges:
Presently, the only limited mobility access areas of Upper Park are a picnic area at Five Mile, the new observatory, and the fishing pier at Horseshoe Lake. Two bridge locations have been proposed for Upper Park, one near Day Camp and the other at the end of Upper Park Road. The views from each of these bridges should be outstanding. It has been proposed that these two locations be made handicapped-accessible by providing accessible trails from Parking Areas I and U. Both trails must be routed and designed as part of the upcoming Environmental Impact Review process so now is the time to decide whether to study the feasibility of providing this access. It may also be possible to make the creekside Yahi Trail between Parking Area H at Day Camp and Area I handicapped-accessible too, providing a kind of loop trail.
