Recreating in the national forest is an activity loved by millions of people. Whether it be hiking, biking, picnicking, fishing, camping, or just going for a drive, the national forests provide fun, excitement, and solace to many. While many of these pastimes have been limited during the past few months, starting May 22, trailheads and day-use areas including boat launches, will become more accessible. Some trailheads and day-use areas that are still snow covered or damaged from fires or storms will open later.
The Central Cascades wilderness areas of Oregon are home to iconic mountain peaks, high alpine meadows and lakes, and old growth forests. Crystal clear streams, wildflower meadows, rugged mountain views, young lava flows, and much more can be found in the Mount Jefferson, Mount Washington and Three Sisters Wilderness areas.
In an effort to preserve the natural beauty and wilderness experience for you and future visitors and to better manage recreation-related impacts, these areas will be managed with use limits, or quotas, to ensure the protection of these landscapes now and into the future. Find out what is new in 2021, and start planning your trip (n.b. this permit system which was initially scheduled to start in 2020, but has been pushed back due to COVID-19).
