Happy Meadows Parking Project

Bid net reference No: 0000313752 The Happy Meadows Corridor is located on the Pike National Forest along CR 112 and incorporates a three-mile section of the South Platte River. The area attracts thousands of recreationists annually that utilize the riparian corridor to enjoy fishing, tubing, and picnicking. Over the last decade this recreation has resulted in unauthorized motor vehicle use right on the rivers edge. This has degraded the riverbank and caused extensive erosion. Several parking areas exist on the ground that have large ruts and severe water damage. Sanitation has also become a growing issue with the absence of any restroom facilities. In 2022, the South Park Ranger District in partnership with CUSP took action to address this growing problem by implementing the Happy Meadows Management Project. Barriers were installed to prevent motor vehicles from driving on the riverbank and an additional parking area was constructed. Additional action is still needed and is outlined in the Scope of work. Reference Number 0000313752 CUSP, in cooperation with the US Forest Service, proposes to improve parking pullouts and trailheads near the South Platte River in the Happy Meadows corridor. This road segment is two miles north of Lake George, CO. The primary purpose of this project is to improve parking areas for public. The purpose of this document is to lay out scope of work for the parking improvements. All cut and fill quantities are estimated. Parking lot limits and material dump sites to be field staked by the Forest Service. See parking area Concept Drawings and Schedule of Items for estimated quantities and layout details.
