Summary: Spend a weekend restoring the historic Echo Lake Picnic Shelter in Echo Lake Park at the base of Mt. Evans.
Description:
STEWARDSHIP SITE
The Echo Lake campground is located at the base of Mt. Evans next to the entrance station to the Mt. Evans Road. The Echo Lake Picnic Shelter was constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and exhibits typical CCC-era characteristics including the use of cobblestones and cedar shingle roofing. It is sheltered between pine trees and willows. The shelter has always been used as a picnic shelter for the surrounding campground.
VOLUNTEER PROJECT - WHAT & WHY
The Echo Lake Picnic Shelter suffers from deferred maintenance and requires a new cedar shingle roof. Volunteers will repair deteriorated roof decking, install a new cedar shingle roof, and apply stain to exposed wood. Pervious construction experience is not required, but is encouraged.
