Fire Restriction Order Lifted
The fire restriction placed on July 27, 2023 (see below) has been terminated effective September 5, 2023.
Although the restriction has been lifted, the vegetation in the Oaks area is dry and the risk of wildfire still exists. We ask all recreationalists to make sure their fires and charcoals are completely extinguished with copious amounts of water before leaving them.
Any wildfires that start from a campfire or charcoal cooking is the liability of the recreationalist.
