Ponderosa Way Reopens Friday, November 17th!
The bridge has been replaced and the road has been graveled on the Weimar side. Both the north and south sides have been graded. Vehicle access and parking at the ever popular Codfish Falls Trailhead has been restored. The 1935 one lane steel and wood Parker pony truss bridge's deck and foundation were determined to be structurally unsound in 2020 by the Bureau of Reclamation. The original bridge was taken down and replaced with a "modern" steel beam and concrete deck bridge in 2023. The original, massive 800 mile Depression Era Ponderosa Way Firebreak Project initiated by the US Forest Service on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains was designed to separate the Ponderosa Pine forests from the Central Valley. The project included roads and bridges for emergency vehicles and employed approximately 4,800 Civilian Conservation Corps workers. |
China Bar Vehicle Access Open Seven Day A Week Beginning January 4, 2022
The Auburn State Recreation Area is expanding vehicle access to the American River Canyon at China Bar to seven days a week on January 4th from 7:00 a.m. to sunset, twelve years after it first opened on January 1, 2010.
The Birdsall and Oregon Bar river access dirt/gravel roads are included. Wet weather could force temporary closure of these roads. The area is very popular for fishermen, swimmers, picnickers, hikers, runners, equestrian and mountain bike riders. The area also provides important access for rafters paddling from the Confluence and kayakers refining their paddling skills at the Pump Station Rapids aka Auburn's Aquatic River Park. |
