In order to protect our employees, we will be closing our front offices, effective, March 17, until further notice. If you would like to make an appointment with an employee or need assistance with visitor information or would like to purchase a map or wood permit over the phone and have it mailed to you, please contact your local Forest Service office.

To assist, we are asking all visitors to self-assess using the following USDA provided questions:
