Rio Vista Falls Maintenance Project

The instream structures and bank improvements at Rio Vista Falls are currently undergoing a maintenance project that began in October 2021. Maintenance will include repairing voids, undercutting, and deepening the foundation toe of the bank and instream structures. A protective layer of rock armoring around the foundation will also be installed. The maintenance strategy will provide a more robust system of protection against river currents and future floods. The Rio Vista Falls area will be closed to the public for the duration of the maintenance work, which is expected to be completed in May 2022. For more information about the project, please visit the project page.
