Pine Valley Recreation Area and campground sees new road features this fall

Pine Valley, UT, August 14, 2024— Over the last year, US Forest Service engineers have been monitoring the Pine Valley campground and recreation area roads for damage and preventative maintenance. After conducting assessments of the popular mountain retreat, engineers discovered numerous portions of road and trail pavement that need replacement and maintenance.

The campground and recreation area will be closed from September 10, 2024, to November 30, 2024 for road work project completion. The closure is in place to allow road construction crews to complete projects in an efficient and timely manner. The purpose of the road project is to prevent and reduce road damage.    

Road work will involve crack sealing, asphalt repairs, chip seal with a seal coat, new shouldering, removal of specific wheel stops, curb stop installation, and pavement striping and markings.

The recreation area and campground will be closed for the duration of the temporary closure for to public safety purposes. Please respect closure signs and road contractors until the area is open to the public again. During construction, we recommend camping and recreating at our other dispersed sites and locations throughout the forest.

The Dixie National Forest appreciates your patience and understanding during road maintenance.
