Due to potentially hazardous conditions created by the Middle Fork Fire, the following trails will be closed to entry and use until further notice:

• Bald Crater Loop Trail
• Bert Creek Trail

Crater Lake Visitor and Resource Protection and Fire Management staff will be assessing ongoing conditions as the season progresses. The trail closures are being implemented to reduce threats to public safety associated with wildland fire hazards.

All other trails in the park are currently open and any previous trail or area closure orders are rescinded. The Pacific Crest Trail is now fully open within the park.

This closure is implemented pursuant to the authority described in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations 1.5(a)(1), 1.5(b) and 1.5(f). Please contact Public Information Officer Marsha McCabe at 541-594-3091 with any questions or for additional information.
