Forest Closes Campgrounds and Picnic Sites

April 29, 2020 by Jackson Hole Radio

The Bridger-Teton National Forest temporarily closed developed campground and picnic sites on the Forest through May 31st. Many of these sites are inaccessible due to snow anyway and do not normally open until late May. Closed developed recreation sites include campgrounds, Granite Hot Springs, picnic areas, and any other constructed facility amenities – such as potable water stations, fire rings/grills, picnic tables, restroom facilities with flush or vaulted toilets, and trashcans and trash collection services. Parking facilities, trails and trailheads remain open. Additionally, the Forest is asking recreationists to refrain from building campfires on the Forest. This temporary closure is necessary to address employee and public health and safety concerns as the Forest works to comply with local and State health orders and Center of Disease Control recommendations. Developed recreation sites are temporarily closed while dispersed camping, hiking, river use, and other dispersed activities are allowed in the Forest.
