Hood River County Commissioners have approved a plan to develop a park at Punchbowl Falls, setting the stage to apply for grants to purchase the property around the falls.  Administrator David Meriwether says the committee involved with drawing up the plans kept it simple with the goal of protecting what is there and maintain access to it.  The plans include some trail work, restrooms, signage, and improved parking.  The County will now be seeking $578,000 in Oregon State Parks grant funds to purchase the land from Western Rivers Conservancy.  Meriwether noted the improvements would be done by volunteers and paid for by donations, and require minimal maintenance.
