											Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bonneville Power Administration and Tribes to spread soil and plant native grasses to stabilize the east riverbank at Mayer State Park.
The work also includes adding boulders.
Visitors can still access the Columbia River for watersports and recreation at Mayer State Park, but the east riverbank is closed to foot and vehicle traffic.
In addition to restoration, the work includes improving river access in the remaining portion of the park with an improved pathway to the water.
The park will remain open to all users during and after restoration efforts.
