This from Thom Engel, NSS member and Friend of Thacher Park:
Thoughout much of the park, state land ends at the base of the cliff. (There are few exceptions.) There is an individual logging down below the park. So, logging, yes. In the park, no.
Other news, unless something happens to open the park, the news is that as of June 17, all gates and all areas in the park will be closed. The areas that are open like Hop Field, Lower Paint Mine, and the Overlook will be closed. All existing personnel will be transferred over to Thompson's Lake, which will remain open. Even if monies are made available to open the park, it is unclear how this will work. If the Thacher folks are moved back to Thacher, that does not leave enough to operate Thompsons Lake.
