Russian River campground area reopens for winter season
Alert
Date(s): Nov 9, 2023
On Friday, Nov. 10, 2023, the Chugach National Forest will reopen the Russian River campground area to public access for non-motorized winter recreation. The Aspen Flats, Upper Russian Lake cabins, and the previously closed Barber Cabin will be open for reservations.
This rescinds Forest Closure Order No. 10-04-30-23-12, which closed the area to all public vehicle and pedestrian traffic during extensive construction work on the Russian River Campground Road.
While recreating in the area, visitors should be aware of winter hazards and heed all Forest Service signs and fencing. Motorized access in the campground area is strictly prohibited.
