Mt. Pisgah/BPA Access Road Priority Project

BPA is repairing transmission line access roads on Mt. Pisgah that were damaged in the Jan. 2024 winter storms. Temporary repairs have been made, and more substantial repair work will be conducted in summer 2024. Members of the public may continue to use the trail system until permanent repair work begins this summer. In the future, BPA access roads may be closed to the public for the safety of all and to expedite the access road repairs. 

This webpage will be updated with details as we learn more about the timing and duration of the upcoming repair work. If you have questions, please contact BPA at 503-230-5131.

Mt. Pisgah is located within the Howard Buford Recreation Area near Eugene, Ore.
