Description
The City of Coos Bay, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), is pleased to announce the next phase of the ADA-accessible fishing dock project at Middle Empire Lake. This project was funded through the ODFW Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) Program and was identified in ODFW’s 25-Year Angling Enhancement Plan. The project supports ODFW’s goals of improving bank angling access for individuals without boats and providing inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities for people of all abilities. Phase One of the project was completed in 2025 and included installation of the anchor system foundation that will secure the fishing dock to the shoreline. Phase Two will include installation of the gangway and ADA-accessible fishing platform. To facilitate construction and ensure public safety, the trail leading to the project area will be closed to pedestrians from June 30, 2026, through July 1, 2026. Visitors are asked to observe all posted closures and use caution when near the construction zone. The City appreciates the public’s patience as this project moves forward and looks forward to providing improved fishing access for the community. For additional information, please contact Greg Hamblet at (541) 269-1181 ext. 3541 or [email protected].
