Tuttletown Rec Area/Manzanita

Jennifer Heinrich

Was in need of some exercise after Christmas and headed here for the trails. All the trails connect so you can make your hike as long or short as you need. However, I imagine hiking around in summer would be dreadful 🥵 the blue heron trail specifically has a section in direct sunlight and we were roasting. Acorn Campground didn't seem to have enough shade either, although I didn't drive through all the sites to check. The entrance fee for day use was $8 at kiosk. I don't see a future where I would come back here but that's because I would rather camp and hike other places.

What a Word

It’s beautiful this time of year. The lake is, of course, quite low. But there are still plenty of trails to hike. And it has been super quiet every time I’ve been out there this year.

We sound like any big government agencies at The Tunnel Town recreation area managed by the Bureau of Reclamation the local management and the local security we're just a little bit on the roadside or more in a little bit on the roadside handicap accessibility is near non-existent they didn't want to hear what we had to say and we had to take it to higher levels it was an ongoing 6-month battle which really didn't result in much except for making them become compliant that they should have been in the first place and it's still not really compliant difficult camping way up on the hill away from the lake water levels dropping but I think they could do better to find better people in the management position thank you here's a follow-up a couple years later I get harassed every time I go down to the lake by a government agency and there is zero handicap ability and I'm tired of it
