Late Season Snow Delays Campground Openings

Recent late season storm cycles brought much needed snow to the Deschutes National Forest's upper elevations. However, the heavy snowfall has also impacted the ability to conduct annual preseason safety inspections, maintenance and repairs and hazard tree removal within our campgrounds. Traditionally, a number of campgrounds in the Crane Prairie and Wickiup Reservoir areas open in time to coincide with the start of the annual fishing season. While fishing season opens Friday, April 22, snow impacts have prevented our campground concessionaire from completing critical hazard tree removal work and maintenance at these facilities. Campgrounds within these areas are tentatively rescheduled to open April 29, providing favorable weather returns this week.

Crescent Fire District Announces Prescribed Burn

Crescent Ranger District fire managers will conduct approximately 1,200 acres of prescribed fire operations this spring as conditions allow. All prescribed burn units are scheduled to take advantage of spring weather and residual moisture that allows firefighters to maintain low-intensity fire while removing ladder fuels and hazardous fuels loading. Ignitions are slated for units located approximately two miles south of the Two Rivers subdivision, two miles southeast of Cascade Estates and six miles southeast of Crescent primarily east of Highway 97. The prescribed burn units are part of the Rim-Paunina planning area. Fire specialists are using prescribed fire to restore fire in a historically fire-adapted ecosystem while reducing hazardous fuels that contribute to high intensity wildfire events which can occur during the normal fire season. No road or trail closures are anticipated although drivers can expect signs along Highways 58 and 97 and some Forest Service roads during burn ope

Snow Prompts Forest Service Road Closures

The Deschutes National Forest will close three Forest Service Roads this week due to recent and forecasted snowfall. Today, the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District closed Forest Service Road 4603 which provides driving access to Tumalo Falls. On Tuesday, the Crescent Ranger District will close Forest Service Road 60 at the Crescent Lake SnoPark. The Sisters Ranger District will close Forest Service Road (FSR) 16 on Wednesday. FSR 16 provides driving access to the Three Creek Lake area. The roads are closed to provide for public safety and minimize resource damage, as well as, to preserve the snowpack as these routes transition to opportunities for winter recreation. Forest managers would like to remind visitors that Forest Service roads across the Deschutes National Forest are not plowed or maintained for winter driving access. Visitors recreating on the Forest should be prepared for winter driving conditions. Some tips for those enjoying winter recreation on their public lands, include: Pl
