Seasonal roads and trails on the Stanislaus National Forest will open for the recreation season April 15, 2018. There are some roads that will remain closed due to storm-related damage. The Stanislaus National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map indicates which roads and trails will remain closed and may be picked up at any ranger district office, or by visiting the Forest’s maps webpage at https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/stanislaus/recreation/ohv. Roads identified in the MVUM as being open may close due to local weather conditions as necessary.
Use caution and drive defensively when traveling on open roads in the Forest. Rocks, or high water may be encountered in the roadway. Wet, saturated roadbeds are easily damaged, which can require costly repairs to roads and adjacent resources.
Contact your local Ranger District office for current information on roads and conditions before traveling on the Forest.
