Forest Recreation Report

Campfire Permits 

Unless you are in a developed recreation area (campground or picnic area) you must obtain a free California Campfire Permit if you plan to build a campfire or use a stove.  Permits are available at Forest Service, Cal Fire and Bureau of Land Management offices. 

Recreation Opportunity Guides (ROGS) - Updated once a year (in the spring), these brochures offer tips on bicycling to wildlife viewing... and everything in between.
