Whisky Creek Fire
Publication Type: Closures - 09/14/2024 - 12:15
FIRE SEASON 2024 UPDATED 9/13/2024
The HRC Tree Farm & trails are a dynamic system and several updates need to be communicated. Continued progress in The Whisky Creek Fire suppression efforts permits HRC to begin the phase 2 reopening of trails, roads, staging areas & Kingsley Campground. Effective 5:00 p.m. Thursday, September 12th, 2024.
Several roads & trails will remain closed:
Roads & trails to remain closed:
- Dead Point Rd.
- Kingsley Rd. (West of reservoir)
- Green Point Rd.
- Upper Trail-180 (West of reservoir)
Trails heavily impacted by Whisky Creek contingency fire line construction and will remain closed until repaired:
- Trail-110/Mitchell Ridge
- Trail-112
- Upper Trail-160/Baby Heads
Trails absorbed by Whisky Creek contingency fire line construction and are now decommissioned:
- Trail-133/Borderline
- Trail -135/Blade Runner
HRC Forestry will be coordinating efforts to repair impacted trails and efforts will commence once moisture returns and dirt can be compacted. As a provision for HRC strategic long-term fire line operations, decommissioned trails will be replaced with comparable alternatives and relocated. Please reach out if you would like to engage in this process.
