kayaks on Old Ranch Rd. to Howard Creek been blocked by the short telephone posts?" A Resident. A1." The Board considered your query about launching kayaks and other boats from within the Valley. You are correct that there was, and still is, a launching area in our Park on Old Ranch Road. However, in 2007 the County made clear to the Board that any infringement of the conservation status of the park would result in a prosecution. Among the issues they raised was that no motorised vehicles are allowed within the Park. So we were obliged to block off motor vehicle access and put up warning signs. You may still launch your kayak, but you will have to carry it from the road to the Creek. The Board considered offering an alternative launching site from our other Park by the bridge. However, the water in the Creek is of varying depth, there are fallen tree branches and other obstructions when the water level is low, and the route passes several properties whose owners might object. I am sorry we cannot be more helpful." |
