Draft Master Plan Now Available for Review |

Earlier this year the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) began a master planning process for Nehalem Bay State Park and OPRD's new park on the Nehalem River named Cougar Valley State Park. Meetings were held in February with an advisory committee and the general public, followed by a 30-day opportunity to submit written comments, to identify issues and ideas that should be considered in formulating the master plan. The draft master plan is now available for public review at this web site.
