This new rule does not change any of the guidelines that Outfitter Guides have been working under (https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le2342E.pdf and https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/forms-library/Documents/Outfitter%20Guide/Best%20Practices%20for%20Outfitter%20Guides.pdf).

Be aware that there will be more public scrutiny of your PPE with the governor’s efforts to reduce the rising number of COVID cases.

• Half of all cases in Oregon are from people under the age of 40 and one third of all cases are from people under the age of 30.

• Currently, people in their 20s and 30s are the most likely group to get sick with COVID-19.

Please re-evaluate your activities and see if you may need to scale back some activities where you may not be able to be to keep your clients and yourself as safe as you possibly can.

Stay safe –

This summer construction will begin of the new boat ramp at the Hendricks Wayside. Talks and planning for this much needed improvement have been happening since early 2014 and this is the summer that construction will begin.

On June 8th the Hendricks Wayside Boat Ramp will close and will not open until the end of September this year.

This information is from Lane County Parks:

Lane County campgrounds will reopen for modified camping on Thursday, May 21.

* Archie Knowles Campground (Mapleton)
* Armitage Campground (Eugene)
* Baker Bay Campground (Dorena)
* Harbor Vista Campground (Florence)
* Richardson Campground (Junction City)

We have created a plan that balances the safety of campers while providing a place for people and families to enjoy the outdoors. Some of the precautions that will help protect campers are keeping common areas (playgrounds, group campsites, shelters, etc.) closed; keeping showers closed; keeping some campsites empty to increase distance; using approved cleaners and disinfectants in restrooms; and more.

Additionally, each campground will have site-specific modifications to help keep everyone safe. We hope that anyone who chooses to camp in one of our campgrounds is understanding of the necessary modifications and complies with our plan so that we can welcome people back safely.
