Some Gorge Recreation Sites Reopen

The U.S. Forest Service and Oregon State Parks have decided to re-open some recreation sites in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area that were closed due to fire danger.  Oregon State Parks is re-opening previously closed parks along the Historic Columbia River Highway from Larch Mountain to Ainsworth as well as the Angel’s Rest Trailhead and trail and Mount Defiance at Starvation Creek.  Scenic Area Manager Lynn Burditt emphasized several sites within the area will not be re-opening.  Public safety closures near Eagle Creek, Herman Creek, and several other locations remain in place and are not related to recent wildfire risks.  To plan around closures and to find open outdoor recreation areas, go online to ReadySetGOrge.com.
