Don Morse Beach Restoration A Major Concern

A letter from Chelan City Council Mike Conney arrived in time for us to post here on GoLakeChelan and our ‘WaterBlog’ in order to encourage citizen participation in a walking tour of the beach this coming Monday, March 23rd. Interested parties will be meeting at Lakeview Drive In at 11:00 AM Monday.

Councilman Cooney writes: I thought I would give you a heads up about an upcoming “beach tour” scheduled for this coming Monday, March 24th.

The purpose is to have those that are not familiar with the beach/sand erosion and hopefully the cure (Don Morse beach restoration) to walk the beach and learn firsthand the ongoing problem and solutions that are being discussed.

As you know the Don Morse Park Enhancement Initiative will begin to take place and in many circles the beach restoration is priority #1.
Our tour will start at 11 AM next Monday at the Lakeview Drive-In site. The public is invited and encouraged to join us.

A big kudo should be given to Art Campbell Sr. for pursuing this for over 20 years and finally it looks as if something will get done to make Don Morse beach a long beautiful sandy beach with no cement bulkhead. What makes this even more admiable in my estimation is that once this is completed…Campbell’s will no longer benefit from the natural drift.

Regards,
Mike Cooney
