Recreating During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The national forests in New Mexico, including the Lincoln, have closed many campgrounds, restrooms, picnic areas, and day-use areas to protect public health and align with state direction to contain the COVID-19
Trails are still open. Dispersed camping (aka camping in an area other than an established campground) and other activities that support social distancing and small groups are still permitted.
To protect public health and safety, and the health and safety of our employees and volunteers, and reflecting federal and state guidance to limit the spread of COVID-19, developed recreation sites are currently closed and group sizes are limited in other areas.
We are accepting comments on proposed changes to the management of the developed recreation program. These changes will impact campgrounds and day-use sites on the Carson, Gila, Lincoln, and Santa Fe National Forests, and the Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands. Comment period ends December 31, 2020.
