A cross section and more <br />detail is presented in Appendix \, <br /> <br />The Deer Creek hot air balloon launch site would be relocated to the West side of the reservoir near the <br />Kingfisher day use area, The new area would include a gravel parking lot, circulation road, restroom, and <br />similar facilities to those that exist at the Deer Creek location, The area has a sufficient amount of area for <br />overflow parking during the balloon festival and is believed to have suitable conditions for balloon use, <br /> <br />The concept for redeveloping this area is shown on Map 3,3, <br /> <br />Kinl!fisher Dav Use Area <br /> <br />Kingfisher area is entirely inundated at 5444, <br />A new parking area would be developed along the shoreline at a site west of its current location, The <br />area would include a portable restroom and similar facilities to those that exist at the current site, <br />Existing trail connections would be redeveloped above the high waterline to provide similar recreational <br />opportunities, <br /> <br />Gravel Ponds <br /> <br />The gravel ponds are completely inundated at 5444, <br />The gravel parking area and trailheads would be redeveloped at a new location to the southwest along <br />a portion of the expanded shoreline, This site would have similar characteristics to the existing gravel <br />ponds area, It is anticipated that the area would be reserved for non-motorized boating and the types <br />of uses that currently occur at the gravel ponds, <br /> <br />Platte River Trailhead <br /> <br />The restroom, parking lot and trailhead are not affected by a water elevation of 5444, <br />The most significant impact to this facility is the inundation of the existing trails that lead to the Platte <br />River, New concrete trails would be built to replace these trails, <br /> <br />EDAW February 2004 <br /> <br />Page 24 <br />
