Jackson State Demonstration Forest announces seasonal road and campground closures

MENDOCINO Co., 9/26/23 — Due to the arrival of rain, CalFire has announced immediate seasonal closures for a number of roads and campgrounds in the Jackson State Demonstration Forest as of September 25.

This closure will be in place through the wet season, and “prohibits the use of all unauthorized motorized vehicles, including motorcycles and ATVs,” but visitors may still use roads for “hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding.” Some of the roads within the forest will remain open, but people are asked to not drive on roads with wet surfaces for safety, and to prevent rutting and erosion.
