Recreation
The closure order covers the entire forest, including the Grindstone and Upper Lake Ranger districts.
The closure is the result of rain received over the weekend, leaving trails saturated and muddy.
Between 2 and 6 inches of rain was received across the forest during the recent storms.
Additional storm systems in the current forecast are likely to bring more water to the forest and trail system.
Using the trails in their current condition would result in damage not only to the trails, but would also impact other resources including soils, water quality, and wildlife habitat.
“We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation with the temporary OHV trail system closure,” said Forest Supervisor Tom Contreras. “By closing the trails now and preventing further damage, we are reducing the risk of longer closures for costly repairs and restoration efforts. Waiting for conditions to improve and the trails to dry out will help us continue to provide quality recreation areas for OHV riders.”
The Emergency Trail Closure for the Mendocino National Forest is formally referenced under Order Number 08-10-06.
Violation of this closure order is punishable by a fine of no more than $5,000 for an individual, $10,000 for an organization, or up to six months imprisonment or both.
