Occasionally areas may be closed due to emergency situations, for resource protection, or during specific seasons when disturbances may drive animals from important habitat. These closures are usually temporary, and your patience and cooperation is appreciated. For more information on these closures, follow the Alerts and Notices link on this website for closures.

In and around developed sites, give other recreationist the space and quiet you would appreciate. By law you are permitted to exit and enter campgrounds, but not to play on ATV’s and dirt bikes within a campground. If your muffler is not quiet, push your machine into and out of a campground, with the engine shut off.

Stream banks and lakeshores are especially sensitive areas and easily susceptible to damage. These riparian areas provide water, food and shelter to wildlife.

Please cross streams at a 90° angle at a slow speed, and do not travel up and down stream channels.

Cutting switchbacks, taking shortcuts or hillside climbing may be a challenge, but once vehicle scars are established other vehicles follow the same ruts and do long-lasting damage. Rains cause further damage by washing deep gullies in tire ruts. Valuable vegetation and critical wildlife habitat is lost, and permanent and unsightly scars result.
