San Bernardino National Forest Announces Emergency Forest Closure

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., October 22, 2007— Due to extreme fire activity, and to protect public health and safety, San Bernardino National Forest officials are implementing a forest closure, effective October 23, 2007. The closure prohibits public entry to the forest, with few exceptions, and will last until the extreme conditions subside.

The few exceptions to the closure allow access to the Serrano Campground, the Alpine Pedal Path and the Juniper Point Parking Area. Access to these sites is deemed safe, but visitors must remain vigilant and tend to current fire restrictions, including no smoking or no wood or charcoal fires anywhere on the forest.

Organizations holding special use permits for sanctioned activities within the forest are also exempt from this order, including recreational residences and organizational camps, but occupants must remain within the permit boundaries.

While the closure is in effect, going into or being upon National Forest System lands, roads, or trails within the San Bernardino National Forest is not allowed. The closure will affect the use of all national forest recreational facilities, roads and hiking trails. Violators are subject to fines and/or imprisonment.

County roads and state highways may be affected by fire activity but are not included in this forest closure. Drivers are urged to seek information about closures, be aware of fire activity in the area and to use extreme caution.

For further information about the closure or fires currently burning on the San Bernardino National Forest, contact the Fire Information Center at 909-383-5688.

I think Sarah is trying to get a list of the trails that will not be opened after the restrictions are lifted because they will need to go thru restoration. The list will us put together a plan to help with the restoration process.

I'd be real careful of what the source of your information is before listing any trails as open or closed.

AAT will (most likely) have a big part in any restoration - but please be patient as it's not just a matter of manpower. At this point I have no information on when the forest will re-open (and even then access will be severly limited if past fires are any indication)

Yea I know. I just figured I show what I found so no one drives all the way up there for nothing.

yup had to find out the hard way that Bronco peak and Sidewinder area (Cleveland National Forest) is closed. I went up there to go wheeling like 1 day prior to all the chaos with the fires...I really want to get up there asap

Old Fart,

I've only run the mountain trails for 1 year. What is the purpose of closing trails like 2N02 or 3N02. Both are east of Hwy 18 and Baldwin Lake, are not near any active fires, have not burned in recent years..... I seriously don't understand they shut down the whole forest. Please educate me.

Hey Jeff,
