Oregon Wildfire Information

Wildfires have impacted our forests in recent years. We encourage you to check official resources for the latest road and forest closures in the area.

As you're traveling around Oregon, you may notice prescribed burns occurring. These are a part of forest management practices and do not typically impact travel. Always check official resources before heading out so you'll be prepared.
