Cold Weather Preparation at Pittock Conservation Area听听
Staff at Pittock Conservation Area (PCA) have been busy since the end of the camping season preparing PCA for the winter months. There are several projects underway to get ready for the next season of camping.听听
In an extension of last year's project, two additional sections of the aged underground water distribution system were replaced 鈥� from the PCA store to washroom and the Maple Crest section to Cedar Shores camping section. In total, 700 feet of new water lines were installed. 听
Colin and Andrew working on the new line
There will be a new 800 feet chip and dust gravel shoreline trail installed. This pathway will run from the newly installed landscape stairs that connect the campers pavilion to the canoe rental and lake access area. Campers will be able to enjoy the shoreline, unobstructed, with easy footing and rest spots.听Staff will also continue the erosion work that was completed on the Maple Crest section in 2023. This work will extend from the Cedar Shores section to the second boat launch. Additionally, there will be secondary access stairs installed for PCA's watercraft rental program.听

Finally, there will be two new pavilions installed at PCA in partnership with the City of Woodstock. One will be located at Roth Park on the south shore of PCA and the second will be in the day-use area.听听
