Paulina Creek Restoration Project Begins Near Ogden Group Camp Project provides wetland habitat improvement through revegetation and floodplain adjustments
Bend, Ore.- Beginning this week, the Deschutes National Forest plans to start work on a restoration project along Paulina Creek near Ogden Group Camp. The restoration work will improve the hydrologic function of a section of Paulina Creek, which historically, was moved and channeled. Project plans include strategic native vegetation planting, realigning, and widening the existing floodplain and better defining the Peter Skene Ogden Trail.
While the project does not impact the Peter Skene Ogden Trail or Trailhead, specialists ask that visitors do not enter the Peter Skene Ogden Trailhead parking lot at this time as ice dams have diverted portions of the creek causing flooding and hazardous, icy conditions. Additionally, heavy equipment will be working in the area to assist with floodplain restoration work.

Pro tips on the best snowshoeing this season Some outdoor winter staples look decidedly different this year, and others were just canceled. Not so for self-guided snowshoeing. It s pretty easy to socially distance on snowshoe trails, and they re often less crowded than skiing trails. To help everyone make the most of the trails this year, we reached out to local snowshoer and Snowshoe Trail Coordinator for the Central Oregon Nordic Club, Bob Timmer, to get tips for newbies and seasoned snowshoe enthusiasts alike. Timmer has seen a lot of what Central Oregon snowshoeing has to offer. Since the CONC has a volunteer service agreement with the Forest Service, he s coordinated snowshoe trail maintenance at trails including Edison Butte Sno-Park and the sno-parks off Century Drive since 2013.
