Forest Closures Due to Wildfire
Temporary Recreation Closures Due to Wildfire Damage
After unprecedented wildfire activity, temporary closures may be in place in some areas to protect public safety. Always check conditions and know before you go. Closed areas may have unstable soils, falling-rocks, or fire-weakened trees that need to be removed. Work crews and heavy equipment may also be working in these areas and need access points and roadways clear to conduct post-fire recovery work. Even after wildfires are contained, some roads may remain closed to address post-fire safety and recovery needs, including the removal of hazard trees. Recreation areas that sustained wildfire damage will remain closed for some time, as they may require extensive project work to recover. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.
