Parking lot at Hagg Lake Park
Title
Parking lot at Hagg Lake Park
Description
Black and white image of one of the newly constructed parking lots near a boat ramp at Hagg Lake Park. The vehicles are mostly pickup trucks with boat trailers, but a number of family cars are also visible. On the lake itself small, motorized fishing boats can be seen. Because there was no other place for motorized boating in the county, Hagg Lake allowed motor boats to operate on about half of its surface, with the upper half of the lake reserved as a no-wake zone for non-motorized craft. Hagg Lake Park was the first county park in Washington County, created when the Bureau of Reclamation built the Scoggins Dam and Hagg Lake was formed in the mid-1970s. Henry Hagg was a long time resident of the Scoggins Valley and had been one of the original initiators of the Scoggins Dam project in 1934.
