Eureka, June 1, 2009
On Thursday morning, Lower Trinity District personnel discovered that a public restroom located at the popular river access point known as Big Rock had been partially burned and freshly tagged with graffiti. "Approximately $3,500 in damages occurred to this Forest Service property between Wednesday night and Thursday morning," stated local law enforcement.
A half million dollars was invested in improvements at the Big Rock day use area including a new boat ramp, shaded picnic sites with new tables, a new bathroom and paved parking. "This is one of our highest use facilities along the Trinity River and it is terrible to see it vandalized," stated Bob Hemus, District Recreation Officer. "The Willow Creek area has also experienced vandalism, which can be very costly to the government and local businesses," continued Hemus.
If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact the U.S. Forest Service at (530) 629-2118.
