Clark County – Vancouver Lake Regional Park will be closed while Clark County parks crews remove debris and cut trees that were damaged or destroyed by the winter storms earlier this month.

More than 100 trees were damaged, according to information from Clark County. County officials aren’t sure when the park will reopen to the public. The park is at 6801 N.W. Lower River Road.

“We will try to get the park up and running as soon as possible,” said Bill Bjerke, Clark County Parks manager. “But we have a big cleanup on our hands, and the work has been slow.”

The county is not telling people to leave the park, but officials would prefer for the public to steer clear of the 190-acre park until the hazards have been removed.
