Melones is close to our ranch and we love to boat here , fish and hang around the gravel beach to the right of the main boat ramp , due to the mussel problem this year they close the boat ramp during the week and inspect boats for launch fri , sat , and Sunday . They keep the gate locked on the gravel beach and it is a loooong walk from parking .to get down to the beach . Being newly handicap I am now seeing handicap issues first hand . Due to my 46 years of
being a journeyman plumber I have (b) (6) (b) (6), also from works ng with Asbestos (b) (6) (b) (6) so I don't walk so good and don't breath so good . I have received a
handicap placard and also gotten my Federal Parks permit . Can they possibly open the gate to the gravel beach for certain days or times as we could before drive and park closer to the water .Just a thought , never thought my life would change this drastic and I'm really missing what I was able to do before . Thanks There is no welcome sign. Had to take dangerous 360 on blind hill.
No no parking sign at top of trail. I got a ticket but sign was taken down
(b) (6) Yes, my name in
and I am a local resident who loves the lake!
We are there at least 2 tms a week with either our jet ski or pontoon boat. My
concern is that there are no toilets/ restrooms any where on the lake. Not
one!!!! The marina has a tiny restroom that I know has two stalls in the women's bathroom but they either are out of service or don't have any toilet paper never ever!!!!! When they did have one floating toilet on the lake last year it was absolutely disgusting because the lack of taking care of it. It was never cleaned out the entire season and people were pooping in the corner and there was poop all over the place. This is not acceptable and I doubt it would be OK to think that all the people that go to the lake are all pooping all over your

beautiful land. This is unacceptable and inappropriate and a health hazard. Please provide restrooms for the public. Thank you.
The center does a remarkable job of upkeeping the grounds and providing accurate information. The only thing embarrassing are these signs you keep putting up. How awful that our own federal administration is so sensitive to be afraid of truth. The Interpretive Center is excellent; it stands as a memorial to those wronged, and as a reminder to the damage that hate and discrimination can cause.
This sign and form, however, are an embarrassment. Are you so insecure that you can't admit that wrongs have been committed? The US is far from a perfect country, and trying to sweep our wrongdoings under the rug and deny they happened is a disservice to every citizen. You should be ashamed. It would be nice if the Wetlands Loop trail was an actual loop. Right now it dead ends at the last mile into some shallow moving water. The only thing stopping it from being an actual loop is a space of maybe 20' to cross this water. I think it's been over 10 years and this trail still isn't an actual loop.

I would love a water study done on this lake to see if we can use it again. It was contaminated decades ago and then completely given up on. I personally do not think it is of any danger to people anymore and should not be treated like a toxic wasteland. It has been greatly overlooked and ignored by the government. It is a beautiful lake and plenty of wildlife call it home. Birdwatching is cool for birdwatchers, but was once a great recreation area has been reduced to nothing otherwise. I do not believe that the wildlife will be negativity impacted due to the lack of accessibility by boat on the north side of the lake due to shallow water. I believe making the lake into a fishery again would help the local wildlife and water quality, along with the fact that this water does make its way into the Gunnison river.
(b) (6) I visit this reservoir nearly every weekend with
and my dogs. This
place deserves far better for it and us. Due to the unique and temperate
climate this lake rests in, a wide variety of fish should be able to thrive if
introduced. I have considered setting up a trash can at the old boat ramp and
taking care of it myself along with paying for water samples to be analyzed. My family and I do volunteer work for our community and we will volunteer to help with this. In summary, I believe this beautiful lake needs a second look and could be a wonderful attraction to this small community. I will be more than happy to donate my time however I can. This place does belong to the American people and even more so the wildlife. We should be taking better care of it. Please let this be seen. I would do all the work myself if I could.
Thank you, whoever reads this and please make this travel to someone who cares.

Hello, I'm a huge fan of the River Mountain Loop, Trail, I love to do the 38 miles on my bike, however, I noticed the section at the east entrance of Lake Mead recreation area the bike lane has lots of heavy cracks in it, it makes the ride very rough. I would much appreciate it if that section of road was redone.
Thank you for your dedication and preservation of nature, (b) (6) .
The figures in the museum came to life and called me mean names. Please beat them with a rubber hose.
Also the water vending machines on the actual dam were all empty. Try fixing that before taking real objects off of exhibit and cutting desperately needed staff you bootlickers. Where is all the water going??
At the bathrooms by the showers, the only light is above the men's room. The women have to go to the other side and it is pitch black all the way around. I'm not suggesting a spot light, but something to at least illuminate the path. It would improve safety greatly! Thanks!

This sign and its McCarthyite message is the only negative thing I've seen. The paranoid, incompetent authoritarians in charge who are doing this should be put behind bars. Someone stuffed trash into the grill at the picnic table One service you could improve upon is not making bureau of rec waste money printing stupid pointless signs, because your feelings are hurt. It's a dam. It's not meant to be beautiful as its primary purpose, genius. End your stupid witch hunts, and let the American people, including BOR get back to actual work. The sign/notice that has this bar code and led me to this form is deeply offensive to me, an American with ancestors who arrived on these shores in the 1600s. We should seek to acknowledge and understand the diverse history of these United States of America, warts and all. Lights in Tiffany Campgroun: Lights and matenace to bathrooms and shower.
Fix sprinkler systems make grass green like in the past.
Maintaine and rake camp sights.
Over all restore Tiffany and entire Park back to what it once was.
The women's bathroom in Carracas campground has not had soap for 2 months and one of the faucets has been running for the same amount of time wasting tons of water Trump is a racist poopoo who fiddles with children. Lights: a couple lights reflectors are broke and the Flags need to be replaced. More trash cans around the grass area would stop people from littering. Also a dog water station by the grass would be nice. The park is beautiful and we always see the guys working hard.

HTML address on SO 1341 sign links to Microsoft rather than to any survey form. Signs at Monticello Dam are hard to read behind chain link fence, do not need to be secure but should be readable from a vehicle on the parking area a few feet away. Logos are outdated and confusing. Signs at the dam are apparently made by contracting agencies without regard for facts or consistency with other signs such as at the visitor center. Posted information says Oak Shores day use area is "free" and there is no one to collect fees at the entrance kiosk, but halfway through the long narrow road an automated fee station says "pay here", so the visitors are confused about what is required. The Capell Cove "free" public boat ramp is gated and closed without explanation, although it is the only public boat ramp available on the 23-milelong lake besides a couple of expensive concessions. WiFi and cell phone service are not available to actually use the scans for this survey or visitor maps in the field or at the closed visitor center. The Cleve Dufur visitor center is named as a memorial for a deceased former lake concessions staff employee in violation of federal regulations, while the concession status remains highly controversial. Portable toilets outside of former flush toilets are very uncomfortable and embarrassing as obvious dysfunction of maintenance and management of important recreation facilities in many locations including concessions and direct-management day use areas. Markely Cove concession has flush toilets for staff only, while visitors are told to use outdoor portable toilets. Painted vault toilets are unsightly at Pope Creek parking lot. Signs touting removal of invasive species are overgrown with invasive species at Pope Creek parking lot. The sign at Monticello Dam to "Be a C.O.P." Is confusing and inappropriate since there are actually no facilities or means nearby to "Observe Proper

The sign at Monticello Dam maps resorts that have been fully dismantled and closed for decades and mislead visitors to the far side of the lake many miles away. The entire east side of Lake Berryessa is fully ignored on maps and signs as important public access by road and boat or by hiking.
Thank you to the crew that picked up the dumped garbage at the Seaton's Grove access point as well as pruning the trees on the Downriver Trail and weed eatering both areas. You shut down camping here and there's no water all of the others places are full but here it bill shit It needs to be opened back up for camping in all areas. The lake needs more water. Reopen the bathrooms and showers inseams of porter potties. Open our boat launches and stop restricting our lake use times I think that your attempted erasure of American history is pathetic and the parks belong to the people not whatever president is temporarily in office. If you cared about our parks so much you would stop shorting them on staffing and resources! No access in a place is supuse to be public, the paques are causing respiratory issues Services must improve for deaf and disabled customers without having any sign language interpreter. Or provide disabled access for audio and payment. without accessibility, we couldnt understand how things work with powerpoint. You need to stop harassing the homeless that try to peacefully camp along this area. They need a spot they can feel safe. One of the bathrooms near the parking lot does not lock. The lock is broken.

-I am a disabled person and the handicapped parking space entering the park on Mackinaw St is extremely dangerous for us to use. First off it is not built properly. It fails to provide 3 feet of space on each side so the driver cannot open their door without partially parking in the white no parking zone which the DMV denotes as illegal. Signs have been placed in the park inviting bicyclists to come barreling through the the handicapped parking zone and they are not for warned with signage that they are entering a disabled zone. It is not safe to open my passenger door there. I've had near collision experiences with bicyclist and am unable to safely use this space. The walkway entering the space from the bridge should be painted blue and signage needs to be placed directing the public to use the crosswalk provided instead of tramping through the disability zone. -There are misinformative signs placed along the national trail where the public is to have access to the pier. A real estate fraud was conducted in this area around 40 years ago. Signs are placed telling tourists that there is no outlet in this direction which is not true. The trail exit cannot be used by persons with bicycles and strollers but there is pedestrian access in this direction. There are signs over in TC's Commons Beach area telling people about the trail (which is blocked by a house, swimming pool and tennis court) and that they have pier access (the pier is always locked though) the public is not informed that they also have access to the pool and tennis courts as a result of this real estate fraud. The Tahoe Marina Lodge has blocked the parking lot most adjacent to the pier with reserved parking signs. The number of no public parking signs increased this summer. I'd like if the Marina Lodge has a permit to do this. With my placard the DMV states that I can use this reserved section no matter what but there is actually no handicapped parking space at this trail exit and I'm fearful of animosity, I cannot fight or flight my way out of a conflict. -The water fountain which runs along the trail over on the Gatekeepers side of the dam has been out of service for quite some time. I'm not sure if it is considered property of the forest service or of the state.

I have identified signs of the Trump administration. Both the president and his cabinet fail to recognize the beauty and grandeur of our national parks, forests, and BLM land and are selling it to commercial interests. They are national embarrassments and should be removed from office. This park needs a dedicated kayak/ paddle board launching area. And a better maintained and cleaned beach area. Working bathroom. The porta potty has feces on the floor and is not cleaned during weekend
Whitewashing history is shameful. Humans have had both positive and negative impacts, real leaders acknowledge the true past and offer multiple perspectives. This administration is a stain on our country and we hope sanity will win in the end. Many sites in Pine Campground need attention. Specifically #71 needs major retaining wall repair for safety and the picnic table needs to be raised up to normal functional height. 73,74,75,47, 48, 45, 37, need guard rail repairs, among plenty others. Old dead juniper stumps need to be cut down. A canopy above the playground would be appreciated by children. Sign for the Madera Canal is broken with wooden board parts fallen loosely onto the ground below the sign next to the Medera Canal and County Road 206, near Friant Dam. No logo is visible. We had a bunch of homeless people mess up and trashed the river area . So now it is locked up and believe we should start opening it back up so the crippled people have access to the river as much as the next person. If it appears someone is attempting to live at said dirt then arrest them for trespassing. The bathrooms have been locked and unusable by the public for at least two years all year round Bathroom facility by the downriver trail is never opened for the public and/or tourists to use, even in the middle of summer!

Infrastructure needs serious improvement. Outdated electrical not meeting the standard of modern campers/RVs causing constant issues. Historical structures in serious need of repair such as: shelters with crumbling loadbearing supports and dilapidated leaking roofs causing internal water damage, historical rock bathrooms in need of repairs and remodel, multiple Group Camp cabins closed because of structural issues like failing roof and floor/foundation issues. Rotted guardrail posts that create a safety hazard. Fishing dock has closed almost all summer in need of repairs before opening back up.
Why all negative outlook. I have all positive responses.Kims Marina looks more inviting than I have ever seen it. What great improvements have been made in the last few years.
The woman's bathroom is in terrible shape. We come here a lot and normally I the bathrooms are well kept up. There is no soap for washing hands and in two of the shower stalls the water doesn't drain which makes the stalls in poor shape. The dish station the in the attached building doesn't have warm water for washing dishes either.
Vault toilets are so clean and have TP. Marina people are so welcoming and accommodating. Far exceeded all my family's expectations. Beautiful primitive but established recreation. Thank you!

Dear Bureau of Reclamation,
I am a resident of Bombay Beach and a member of its evolving art community. I'm writing to strongly urge the reopening of the Bombay Beach Campground and to express support for the community-led Tree Line Project on Bureau of Reclamation land, while also drawing attention to the poorly managed Straw Bale Project, which is interfering with local efforts.
1. Repairs and Areas Needing Attention
The campground's prolonged closure has created a significant gap in public access, harming tourism, local livelihoods, and cultural programming. While its infrastructure (restrooms, signage, waste facilities) needs repair, the space provides immense value when operational.
Bombay Beach has seen a major increase in tourism due to its cultural revitalization. Visitors arrive not only in winter, but also in spring and fall. With the campground closed and no public facilities available, many camp on privately owned beach land, leaving trash and using the area as a restroom. Our community has even paid for portable toilets to maintain cleanliness and dignity.
Given that the campground already has the infrastructure needed to support visitors--designated campsites, bathrooms, waste disposal--there is no justifiable reason it should remain closed. On a typical winter weekend, the town is overwhelmed. Reopening the campground would directly relieve this burden.
2. Services That Need Improvement
We do not support the Straw Bale Project in its current form. It is actively
interfering with our long-standing, community-led Tree Line Project. Though part of the Salton Sea 10-Year Management Plan, the straw bale effort appears to be failing while consuming valuable resources. Those funds would be better spent on wetland restoration or reopening the campground.
Additionally, a new water meter with backflow valve was installed on Avenue A. Planned water lines to the straw bales would cross through our tree irrigation system, threatening its success. The Bureau of Reclamation has affirmed that we hold a signed agreement for the tree project and noted that the meter's placement may not have been in the approved plan. It also partially blocks access to the campground entrance, compounding the issue.
3. Information and Narrative The campground's closure gives the false impression that the area is inactive, when it is in fact a vibrant hub of ecological and cultural life. We ask that signage and materials reflect the community stewardship underway. Negative Impacts of the Closure Economic harm: Reduced tourism = reduced local income Public health: No restrooms = unsanitary conditions Cultural loss: Artists and educators lose gathering space Community disempowerment: Years of care undermined Reopening the campground would alleviate beach pressure, provide sanitary infrastructure, and support the cultural and ecological programs that define Bombay Beach today. We urge you to act. The Salton Sea region deserves restoration that includes and uplifts its people.

stretches every morning half of that Park you cannot because it is not fully cemented all the way around the circumference of the park.
It's almost like a person with a wheelchair can get minimal access to all areas of the park, thank gosh that's not my issue but I'm also advocating for them. There needs to be a cement pathway all the way around the park, for example the ball field is half cement and then the half dirt that does not cut it for somebody who has walking issues with a cane.
I'm also going to follow this up with the ADA administration that oversees this issue. I noticed there was nonsense construction the other day at the park where some cement was broken up and replaced under benches which wasn't even broken but this issue needs to be addressed.
Another example is coming from the activity center what do you do in a wheelchair or on a cane problem, just stop at the dirt?

Question 3 is ridiculous considering the government is totally fine selling off supposed "beautiful landscape" to private companies that would effectively destroy the "grandeur" and "abundance of landscape." Otherwise, beautiful! :) Please stop letting water out of the lake. We need another 20'+. We drive out to the lake 3 times a week and check water level.

Dear Bureau of Reclamation,
I am a resident of Bombay Beach and a member of its evolving art community. I'm writing to strongly urge the reopening of the Bombay Beach Campground and to express support for the community-led Tree Line Project on Bureau of Reclamation land, while also drawing attention to the poorly managed Straw Bale Project, which is interfering with local efforts.
1. Repairs and Areas Needing Attention
The campground's prolonged closure has created a significant gap in public access, harming tourism, local livelihoods, and cultural programming. While its infrastructure (restrooms, signage, waste facilities) needs repair, the space provides immense value when operational.
Bombay Beach has seen a major increase in tourism due to its cultural revitalization. Visitors arrive not only in winter, but also in spring and fall. With the campground closed and no public facilities available, many camp on privately owned beach land, leaving trash and using the area as a restroom. Our community has even paid for portable toilets to maintain cleanliness and dignity.
Given that the campground already has the infrastructure needed to support visitors--designated campsites, bathrooms, waste disposal--there is no justifiable reason it should remain closed. On a typical winter weekend, the town is overwhelmed. Reopening the campground would directly relieve this burden.
2. Information and Narrative
The campground's closure gives the false impression that the area is inactive,
when it is in fact a vibrant hub of ecological and cultural life. We ask that signage and materials reflect the community stewardship underway. Negative Impacts of the Closure Economic harm: Reduced tourism = reduced local income Public health: No restrooms = unsanitary conditions Cultural loss: Artists and educators lose gathering space Community disempowerment: Years of care undermined Reopening the campground would alleviate beach pressure, provide sanitary infrastructure, and support the cultural and ecological programs that define Bombay Beach today. We urge you to act. The Salton Sea region deserves restoration that includes and uplifts its people. Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
I'm writing to ask that you please reopen the Bombay Beach Campground and support the ongoing community-led Tree Line Project on Bureau-managed land. Although i am not a full-time resident of Bombay Beach, but I've spent a good amount of time there over the years. I've come to know people who live there full-time and care deeply about the land and the community. I've seen the good they're trying to do with limited resources.
The Campground:
That campground has been closed for a long while now, and the effects are clear. Tourism in Bombay Beach has increased--people come not just in winter, but through spring and fall as well. Without a public place to camp, folks pitch tents and park RVs on private land, and with no restrooms, trash and waste pile up. It's not healthy, it's not respectful, and it puts a burden on locals who've stepped in to try and keep things clean by renting their own porta-potties.
The campground already has what's needed--bathrooms, trash bins, signage, campsites. It just needs repairs and the green light to reopen. In a small place like Bombay Beach, a little thing like that makes a big difference. When visitors have a proper place to stay, it eases pressure on the town and keeps the environment cleaner for everyone.
The Tree Line and Straw Bale Projects
I also want to speak on behalf of the Tree Line Project. That's something community members have been working on for years--planting and caring for trees that provide shade, improve the landscape, and show what's possible when people are given a little trust and room to work.
The new Straw Bale Project, by contrast, seems to be getting in the way. The placement of a new water meter on Avenue A cuts right through the tree irrigation system, and it's partially blocking access to the campground entrance. From what I understand, the community has a signed agreement for the tree project, and the current setup wasn't in the approved plans.
It's frustrating to see a top-down project--with no roots in the community-- disrupt something local people have nurtured from the ground up. If funds are available, they would be better spent on wetland restoration, or simply reopening the campground.
In Conclusion
Right now, the campground's closure gives the false impression that Bombay Beach is some forgotten place. But anyone who's spent time there knows better. It's a place full of life, creativity, and care. People are doing their best to restore both the land and the culture, despite the odds.
Closing off access doesn't just hurt tourism--it creates public health problems, removes gathering spaces for artists and educators, and sends the message that local stewardship doesn't matter.
Please reconsider. Reopen the campground. Support the tree project. And work with the people who are already showing up to care for this unique and fragile place.
Sincerely,

Nothing much to complain about, facility is clean and well maintained. Some signage at the Pat Tillman Bridge is torn and sunfaded, but that is to be expected. Improper capitalization on signage referring to black workers, either change to lowercase (pre 2020 spelling) or capitalize all races like Fox News does. If safety permits a return to pre-9/11 tours would be appreciated. The trail's lovely. The birds are still free to sing what they like, and the rocks haven't yet been asked to smile more patriotically. As for signage, I noticed none that failed to sufficiently glorify the landscape or suppress uncomfortable truths about our collective past. But we'll keep an eye out.

Have a handicapped accessible boat dock for people that have mobility issues. Have more than one handicapped camping spot that is cemented. It would be very nice to have more than 1/2 of the sited cemented. It is appalling to us as taxpayers that the current president and his administration is even considering the historic information presented at our National Parks as potentially negative. We have visited almost every National Park and they have done a fantastic job presenting the history of ALL americans, not just european. Presenting the history of enslaved people, Native Americans, immigrants and others is not negative. Our president and the current administration projects racism and xenophobia when they suggest this, which dishonors ALL Americans. It is truly shameful and history always shames narrow minded and ignorant viewpoints.
Ridgway is in amazing, clean and in excellent condition and its signage is appropriate and excellent. It would be nice to have a sign in the laundry room reminding people not to leave e their clothes in the dryers for hours. I cannot dry my clothes because someone else's clothes are in the dryers.

On a typical winter weekend, the town is overwhelmed. Reopening the campground would directly relieve this burden. 2. Services That Need Improvement
We do not support the Straw Bale Project in its current form. It is actively interfering with our long-standing, community-led Tree Line Project. Though part of the Salton Sea 10-Year Management Plan, the straw bale effort appears to be failing while consuming valuable resources. Those funds would be better spent on wetland restoration or reopening the campground. Additionally, a new water meter with backflow valve was installed on Avenue A. Planned water lines to the straw bales would cross through our tree irrigation system, threatening its success. The Bureau of Reclamation has affirmed that we hold a signed agreement for the tree project and noted that the meter's placement may not have been in the approved plan. It also partially blocks access to the campground entrance, compounding the issue.
3. Information and Narrative The campground's closure gives the false impression that the area is inactive, when it is in fact a vibrant hub of ecological and cultural life. We ask that signage and materials reflect the community stewardship underway. Negative Impacts of the Closure Economic harm: Reduced tourism = reduced local income Public health: No restrooms = unsanitary conditions Cultural loss: Artists and educators lose gathering space Community disempowerment: Years of care undermined Reopening the campground would alleviate beach pressure, provide sanitary infrastructure, and support the cultural and ecological programs that define Bombay Beach today.
We urge you to act. The Salton Sea region deserves restoration that includes and uplifts its people.
Sincerely,
