The USFS Extends Region-Wide Closure order has been extended through midnight on September 21st. Due to dangerous wildfire conditions, public access to all Lake Tahoe Basin National Forest lands, roads and trails are temporarily closed.
Due to unprecedented and historic fire conditions throughout the state, the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region has EXTENDED the temporary Forest Closure Order of all eighteen National Forests in California, which began last week.
This Forest Closure Order closes public access to National Forest lands on the CA/NV sides of the Tahoe Basin. “Closed to public access” means closed to everyone, regardless if you are on foot, bike or in a vehicle. This Order will be re-evaluated as conditions change.

The LTBMU thanks our partners and the public for their cooperation and understanding of this monumental fire threat. It is critical that all Californians and national forest visitors follow these important closures and restrictions for their own safety and the safety of our firefighters.
