Visit the Wildfire & Windstorm Damage page for udpates about roads and recreation sites impacted by the Riverside Fire, White River Fire, Lionshead Fire, and Labor Day windstorm of 2020.
Fires, fallen trees, storms, construction, and wildlife can all force road closures in popular areas. Most roads on the forest close in winter. Check our Roads Table for road closures and conditions, and please be sure to confirm with your local district office.
The 2020 Riverside Fire encompassed over 138,000 acres and left many damaged roads and recreation sites. Hundreds of thousands of dead and weakened trees have made many roads and hillsides dangerous for months and possibly years to come.
Highway 224 is closed past Promontory Park as the corridor sustained heavy damage and intense fire activity. FR 46, 45, and many other roads are also closed due to unsafe access.
Wood cutting for fuel wood is permitted in designated areas on Mt Hood National Forest with a valid permit and load tags, harvest area map and current information sheet.
