Re: McCollum Park
I went there after the hurricane. It was a straight 14 foot drop to get to the water. I hope they fix it. It would really be awesome to launch there and be able to fish there again. This is all I found.McCollum Park Closed
Due to Damage caused by Hurricane IKE, and the construction needed to repair McCollum Park;
the park will be closed until further notice. Any Questions can be answered by calling the
County Engineer’s Office at (409) 267‐8379.

Re: McCollum Park
I read somewhere that they want to have a 30% slope to the water. That doesnt sound too bad to get a yak down

Calling McCollum Park’s Bluff
McCollum Park in Beach City, closed since Hurricane Ike, should reopen this summer, after Chambers County officials get a little work done: “The park sits on a bluff overlooking the bay and the edge of that bluff now sits about 20 feet farther back than it did before Ike. Wallace demonstrated that the damaged bluff is actually in worse shape than it looks at a casual glance. ‘Look up under there,’ he said, pointing out the problem. ‘It didn’t break off clean … the waves undercut the bluff. Somebody could stand there close to the edge and think it is safe and then the ground could just drop right out from under them. That’s the main reason we had to close the park,’ [County Commissioner Bill] Wallace said.” [Baytown Sun]
