Forest Is Open

Bridger Teton National Forest is offering ideas to help the public to keep from going stir-crazy while maintaining social distancing. The Forest remains open, and offers many opportunities for dispersed recreation, which comply with Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon’s Statewide Public Health Order. Campgrounds, day-use developed sites, restrooms and other developed recreation facilities on the Bridger-Teton remain closed due to snow and seasonal conditions until mid-May, but the vast majority of the Forest is still available to visitors. While reducing the spread of the virus and not straining the health care system is our clear collective priority, Forest officials recognize that spending time outdoors can help sustain us – both mentally and physically – in these challenging times. At this time, recreation opportunities on the Forest that support social distancing for small groups including hiking, biking, snowmobiling, skiing and other similar dispersed activities. The Forest is keeping trailheads open and has opened the Astoria boat ramp on the Snake River to allow for additional dispersed recreation opportunities.
