FOREST CLOSURE INFORMATION: As per the recent order provided by the Regional Forest Service Office, Anthony Lakes Recreation Area is now closed. Please see information below with a link to the Forest order.

National Forests – Rogue River-Siskiyou, Fremont-Winema, Umpqua, Willamette, Olympic, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie, Okanogan-Wenatchee, Colville, Deschutes, Ochoco & Crooked River Grassland, Umatilla, Siuslaw, Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur.

To provide for the protection of public health and safety and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Forest Service has decided to implement a public safety closure for all developed recreation sites within the forests listed above. This decision was made based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as state and local health authorities to be consistent with the States of Oregon and Washington Executive Orders. Recreation sites within the forests listed above experience extremely high levels of recreational use that make social distancing difficult, if not impossible. Use of forest areas along certain roads is also exceedingly high, both on and outside of developed recreation sites. As state and local parks in the area have closed in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, National Forest System lands are becoming increasingly congested. The Forest Service is focused on ensuring the health and safety of our employees, their families, and the public while maintaining our ability to provide mission critical services including emergency response to fire, law enforcement, and support for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
