Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area in Washington will close the Hawk Creek Campground and boat launch area to all public access starting April 16 through October 6. The National Park Service says the closure is necessary to keep visitors, staff, and construction crews safe during the Hawk Creek Road Improvements and Stabilization Project. It may be extended through October 30, if needed.
The project will begin at the intersection of Hawk Creek Road and Miles Creston Road. Work will focus on improving the access road, including the single-lane section where the creek has eroded the roadway.
Project work includes:
- Widening and paving Hawk Creek Road
- Realigning sections of the road and strengthening the creek bank to prevent future erosion
- Building retaining walls along the hillside above the new road
- Restoring disturbed areas with soil and native vegetation
- Installing guardrails and updated signage
Because of heavy equipment and construction activity, there will be no public access by road or water during the project. All public facilities, including restrooms and docks, will be closed. The Hawk Creek waterway will be closed at the west side of the narrows. A log boom and signage will be installed to prevent passage.
Visitors traveling on Miles Creston Road should expect increased traffic and heavy equipment entering and exiting Hawk Creek Road.
