Incident: Canyon Complex Wildfire
Released: 8/25/2008
Feather Falls Trail, Campground and surrounding area: The Feather Falls campground, trail, and overlook will remain closed through Labor Day and longer due to damage by wildfires. The fires caused damage to trail structures, including the bridge to the overlook, and to trees that have already fallen and others that may fall across the trail, posing hazards. A thorough assessment of damage is taking place and restoration efforts will begin soon. A closure notice has been placed at the Feather Falls access road located just off Lumpkin Road about 1/2 mile west of the town of Feather Falls. Other closures remain in affect for Bald Rock Dome Trail, Hanson's Bar, Hartman Bar, Milsap Bar, Hunter's Ravine and Kennedy Butte trails (Forest order #12-08).
Visitors traveling in the Plumas NF are advised to use caution by staying on established roads and to be alert to emergency vehicle traffic. For more information about the closures and related maps, visit the Plumas National Forest website, www.fs.fed.us/r5/plumas.
