Corps Closes John Day Dam Recreation Sites Due To Wind Damage

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has closed some facilities at three John Day Lock & Dam recreation sites due to a severe storm that caused extensive damage over the weekend.  Winds between 40 and 50 miles per hour and gusts around 70 miles per hour toppled trees and damaged park facilities.  The day-use parks and restrooms are closed at both LePage Park and Roosevelt Park but boat ramps are open.  At Plymouth Park all facilities have been closed including the boat ramp.  Portland District natural resource specialist Nick Racine says the facilities will remain closed until damage is fully assessed and they can determine the next steps.
