Description
-
Black and white image of a group of Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) workers assembling the cover for a picnic structure at the newly created Hagg Lake Park. Hagg Lake can be seen in the background behind the workers. YCC programs provided summer employment for local youth and introduced them to conservation work in public lands, mostly campgrounds and national parks. During the late 1970s grants were often provided to state and local governments to fund YCC crews for local projects such as Hagg Lake. 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.
