Rehabilitate Cleetwood Trail and Repair Failing Facilities at Cleetwood Marina
Crater Lake National Park » Rehabilitate Cleetwood Trail and Repair Failing Facilities at Cleetwood Marina
The Cleetwood Cove Trail is the most heavily used trail in the park and the only permitted access to the shore of Crater Lake. Every year, thousands of park visitors hike this trail to gain access to lakeshore. The Cleetwood Cove Marina is the launch point for the concession-provided boat tours of Crater Lake and the park's boats. This project proposes to rehabilitate the trail and related infrastructure to ensure safe access to the lake, provide needed visitor services, and to protect the environment.
This project will address critical safety issues with the Cleetwood Cove Trail and Marina. Work proposed includes:
(1) Rehabilitation of the entire 1.1 mile trail including improvements to trail tread and retaining walls.
(2) Rockfall scaling and mitigation along identified high risk zones.
(3) Removal and replacement of the failed bulkhead/dock with a structurally stable marina.
(4) Replacing the outdated and undersized composting toilets located near the marina.
The planning, design, and compliance are completed for this project. The solicitation is currently advertised for the construction contract:
https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/b8eb370434db482a96504cfd4d26d115/view
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026. The trail will remain open in 2025 until it becomes inaccessible due to snowfall (often in mid to late October) or when East Rim Drive closes for the season on November 1. Due to the extent work to be completed and short construction seasons, trail closures will be required and are expected during the duration of the 2027 and 2028 summer seasons. During this time, no boat tours will be provided and the trail will be closed due to construction and rockfall hazards. If construction goes as planned, the renovated trail will reopen in summer 2029.
