Big Bear forest closure

[Ruby Mike]

Effective March 18 through June 30, all forest roads in the Big Bear area are closed to all motorized use. Please respect the closure, as much as we may not like it.

This is due to erosion of the trails and washed out areas.

Considering how bad some of the washouts were before the huge snowstorm, I can’t imagine how screwed up the trails are now. As much as I don’t agree with the closures, I get it. So many knuckleheads these days that came into the hobby because of Covid. The works crews wouldn’t be able to keep up with all the rescues, plus you’d have inconsiderate jerks tearing up the trails even more before erosion control work can be done.

DO call the forest management and voice that you expect all the trails to be opened again when reasonable. We don’t need these closures to become an excuse for permanent ones for some.

Thank you for the headsup. Good thing July is only 96 days away...
Time to gear up.

I'm in OC. Any other areas worth exploring?

Not sure about Orange County, however, the vast majority of forest roads and OHV trails in the Cleveland National Forest (over 90%) are closed at this time. No word on when things will change.
