Streelow Creek Trail Improvements

Redwood National Park » Streelow Creek Trail Improvements » Document List

The National Park Service has completed an environmental assessment (EA) for a project to improve the Streelow Creek Trail north of Orick. The decision is documented in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).

The Streelow Creek Trail was established on an old logging road along Streelow Creek, a tributary of Prairie Creek. Streelow Creek contains spawning habitat for anadromous salmonids. Many locations along the road are failing and have the potential to deliver sediment directly into the creek. The failing road and drainage structures need improvements to prevent sedimentation of salmon spawning habitat and to ensure that the bike-hike trail remains available for safe and enjoyable visitor use.

The Streelow Creek Trail runs between Davison Road and the Davison Trail along Prairie Creek. The trail will be closed for approximately two years beginning in September 2010. The Davison Trail will continue to be available for hikers and bicyclists.
