Sheriff Growdon Urges Visitors to Help Preserve Susanville Ranch Park

3

ranchpark Lassen County Sheriff Dean Growdon is urging visitors to Susanville Ranch Park to help preserve the 1,100 acre outdoor playground on Susanville’s western edge after a recent increase in vandalism and unauthorized vehicles in the park.

“Susanville Ranch Park provides a wide range of recreational opportunities to residents, as well as visitors to our community,” explains Growdon. “The park is a vital piece of local economic development plans, and draws more visitors each year.”

Sheriff Growdon points out the many improvements made at the park that have been completed by personnel from Lassen County, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.

“Additionally,” he said, “countless hours of volunteer work have led to a great number of improvements in recent years. Individuals and user groups have donated their time to improve the park for all of us.”

The recent vandalism, and unauthorized vehicles in the park, have resulted in extensive damage to trails and facilities.

“Unfortunately, the volunteers and groups who have dedicated time to improving the facilities are seeing their efforts destroyed due to the thoughtless acts of a few,” said Growdon. “Please help us preserve this wonderful resource by reporting criminal acts in the park, and by using the park in a responsible manner.”

With over 29 miles of single track the trail system at Susanville Ranch Park draws visitors from all over the west coast.
