A new handicapped-accessible toilet will be added to the restroom along the road near the parking lot, along with a new accessible parking stall and accessible route to the restroom facility. Renovation of two cabins will include construction of pathways, ramps to enter the cabins, and interior renovations in the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom of each cabin. We are taking the opportunity to conduct this renovation work while the park is temporarily closed due to a continuing water shortage in the area.
