Plan Process

The proposed action would create a small campground on the site of an old quarry, where the Chinde Point Picnic Area is now. The park has developed two alternatives for this project:

Alternative 1- no action alternative
The Chinde Point Picnic Area would remain unchanged. The nearest campground to the park would remain 25 miles away in Holbrook.

Alternative 2 - Preferred Alternative

The Chinde Point Picnic Area would be converted to a small campground of approximately 20 sites, with a new picnic area.
