Forest Service Road 19 (Aufderheide Drive) remains closed to thru traffic near mile post 52 due to continued safety hazards. The cliff adjacent to the road is still unstable & rocks continue to break loose. Contractors will complete rock bolting and install a rockfall mesh to safely reopen the roadway, which is estimated to be completed by fall of 2021. Terwilliger Hot Springs is accessible through Forest Service Road (FSR) 500 on the east side of Cougar Reservoir by entering from FSR 19 and turning left at the dam onto FSR 500. This will bring you out by Slide Creek Campground. FS 500 is dirt and gravel, and very rough in spots. This road is not recommended for recreational vehicles - it is very slow going, with lots of potholes and ruts. View closure order and maps.

Carmen Diversion Reservoir and Forest Service Road 750 will continue be closed through April 11, 2023. During the closure, the reservoir will be drained to allow the Eugene Water & Electric Board to address sinkhole concerns. The closure is in place for public safety and to allow the work to be completed efficiently. The McKenzie River Trail and the Ice Cap Creek Day Use Area will remain open.
Our ranger districts are still closed to in-person business. We continue to connect and serve the public virtually using websites, emails and telephone calls.
Warming shelters are closed for the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19 restrictions.
