GAOA Brainard Lake Recreation Area Deferred Maintenance

The proposed project aims to reduce deferred maintenance at the Niwot Picnic Trailhead, a high‑use recreation site near Ward, Colorado in the BLRA, by improving site accessibility and addressing aging infrastructure. The work will include demolishing and removing existing timber parking barriers and retaining walls; constructing timber steps; building rock retaining walls; creating accessible compacted aggregate trails; renovating existing historic picnic sites; constructing new picnic sites; and revegetating all disturbed areas.
