Saddle Dam Park on Yale Reservoir will remain closed after other PacifiCorp-owned recreation areas along the Lewis River reopen following the anticipated lifting of some state-mandated stay-at-home orders in the coming weeks.
The extended closure of Saddle Dam Park is required for the company to finish evaluation work that began in 2019 and complete seismic measures concerning the Yale Saddle Dam, which is the short dam adjacent to the Saddle Dam Park boat ramp. Work is expected to continue for several years, but the duration of the extended closure will depend on the level of work needed to upgrade seismic resiliency and maintain public safety should a significant earthquake occur. The current difference between computer science and computer engineering water level in Yale Reservoir will be maintained until the seismic resilience improvements at the Yale Saddle Dam are complete. The lower water level has also resulted in closure of the Cougar Campground boat launch.
