Recreation Closures Around OR
May 24, 2021
After last September’s fire season, this summer’s wilderness recreation opportunities will look a bit different. Many of the recreation areas that will remain closed lie along rivers, as the wildfires hit hardest along those windier corridors.
There are several interactive maps which show the locations of fire closures, such as this Oregon recreation site status map or this US Forest Service emergency closure map. It is worth noting, the oregon.gov map has been known to fail to display recreation site names, so its guidance can be somewhat unclear.
Whether it appears on the map or not, it’s worth checking if your destination is open before leaving home. The fine for failing to heed closures can often start at $300. You can be sure of a site’s status by calling the area’s Ranger Station.
