Shepperd’s Dell, once known as Young Creek, is located in a sheltered alcove south of the CRH. Its flow rolls down a series of small, rocky cascades. Because the CRH traverses almost unbroken walls of vertical basalt east and west of Shepperd’s Dell, the stream is only briefly visible from the highway, on the Shepperd’s Dell Bridge.
CS21. Structure: Concrete Staircase and Masonry Guard Wall on Paved Trail to Young Creek
Location: HMP 27.4 Date: 1914
Designer: S. C. Lancaster
Builder: Unknown
Owner: Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department
From the Shepperd’s Dell Bridge’s southeast corner, a short reinforced-concrete staircase leads to a narrow pedestrian trail leading around the face of an alcove to Young Creek. A concrete capped masonry guard wall flanks the path, and a small viewing platform near the stream marks its endpoint.
