U.S. Forest Service press release

July Fourth campground update

SALT LAKE CITY - Campgrounds in the five Utah National Forests are expected to be busy over the Fourth of July. Most campgrounds have first-come-first serve area available, but they fill up quickly on holidays.

Forest visitors need to adhere to road closure signage or blockades, DO NOT create routes around these closures. This creates an illegal route and damages the resource, and creates a safety hazard for visitors.

Recreation users who plan to take their All Terrain-Vehicles (ATV's) should contact local Ranger District offices for current information on open roads and trails. Riders should be properly trained and remember to protect the fragile surroundings. Always keep your ATV on designated roads and trails. Higher elevation trails and roads are still wet, muddy and snow covered above 8,000 feet.

Recreation updates for Uintah-Wasatch-Cache National Forests

SALT LAKE CITY -- Forest Service officials continue to remind visitors to exercise caution while recreating.

Forest visitors need to adhere to road closure signage or blockades. Travelers should not attempt to cross roads where water is flowing across. Parents should keep children and pets away from rivers, streams, and riverbanks. Fast-moving rivers and streams are extremely powerful and dangerous.

Mountain streams will continue to run high through June. Swift, cold rivers and streams pose a serious safety hazard. Forest officials caution people to be very careful. Given the unusual weather and the potential for flooding and slides, conditions can change hourly. Please call local Forest Service offices for conditions before embarking for sites on the Forest or visit http://fs.usda.gov/uwcnf.
