GREEN RIVER STATE PARK Visitation for the month of July 1976 at Green River State Park totaled 24,391 people with 3,743 people camping overnight. Visitation was up by 90 over the same period in 1975. 1 would attribute the large mere :e to the two holidays that were in July. Camping, however decreased again this month by 8. I feel the decrease was due to the hot weather we have been experienceing, according to Ben White, Ranger in Charge. On July 17, 1976, a park visitor from Omaha, Nebraska, was driving into the park and wasn't watching what he was doing and hit a tree by the entrance station. He sustained $1200 worth of damage to his vehicle. Much time has been spent this month in cutting weeds, putting up log barriers, painting, falling dead trees and trying to get ready to spray paint the log barriers in August. |
