Visitors to Capitol Lake and the surrounding parks this week may notice biologists working along shorelines to collect data for the design of a restored Deschutes Estuary. The pedestrian path around Deschutes Parkway and Capitol Lake will remain open. 

From Nov. 11-15, DES contractors will identify the boundaries of wetlands in and around the lake. The data will also help assess the state of the vegetation and habitat around the lakeshore. This work is called a critical areas assessment and includes collecting small soil samples.
