General Public Notices
The Fishlake National Forest RAC is accepting proposals for review and consideration for funding recommendation for Fiscal Year 2021/2022/2023 (ending September 30, 2023). The deadline for the Request for Proposals to be submitted is June 11, 2021. For more information >>Fishlake NF RAC web page
The Fishlake National Forest Road #069 (commonly called Box Creek Road) is scheduled to be rehabilitated Monday, May 24 through Thursday, May 27. The road will not be closed, but subject to temporary closures during construction. The rehabilitation will begin on the Forest Service Boundary near Greenwich, UT and continue approximately 6 miles to the Clay Pit Turnoff. Magnesium Chloride will be applied to the road for preservation purposes on Thursday and the traveling public is discouraged from using this route during this time. Magnesium Chloride is extremely corrosive to the undercarriage of vehicles and difficult to remove. A good alternative route for the public to use to access this part of the Monroe Mountain is the Koosharem Road, Fishlake National Forest Road #076, coming out of Koosharem.
The Forest Service, in partnership with Wayne county sheriff's office, have closed the Baker Ranch and Salt Gulch road gates, due to impassable roads and unsafe travel. As of March 30, 2021 Polk Creek road gate is closed as well. The Forest Service will monitor road conditions and reopen when travel is safe. Please check back for updates.
Beginning in 2021, all campgrounds on the Fishlake National Forest except Castle Rock Campground and Birch Creek Campground will be managed by a concessionaire, High Country Recreation. High Country Recreation will also manage the Fish Lake Basin RV dump station (located adjacent to the Doctor Creek Campground), and the Singletree Campground RV dump station. Dump station fees will be $10.00. Campground fees will be higher in 2021 than they have been in previous years, and the cost to purchase firewood will be $7.00 per bundle.
