Stanislaus National Forest Suffered Extensive Damage Closing Four Popular National Forest Access Roads

SONORA, California – Roads on Stanislaus National Forest suffered extensive damage from winter storms and many will remain closed until at least 2018, including four popular roads. Forest officials warn all the damage has yet to be assessed.
Cottonwood Road (1N04) on Groveland and Mi-Wok districts, Beardsley Day Use Road (4N29) and Hell’s Hollow (5N95) on Summit District and Spicer Road (7N01) on Calaveras District sustained extensive damage.
“The record winter storms caused landslides and road failures on many Forest roads,” said Scott Tangenberg, Stanislaus National Forest’s Acting Forest Supervisor. “Much of the Forest is still covered in deep snow and our staff haven’t been able to inspect roads covered with as much as 14 feet of snow.”
Tangenberg signed Forest Closure Order STF-16-2017-03, which identifies which roads are closed. The closures are in effect from April 25, 2017 to Dec. 31, 2018. A closure order is the official document that outlines those conditions on the Forest that mean roads and recreation sites cannot safely be traveled due to damage.
“The Forest was severely damaged by the storms and snow events and these roads are among some of the hardest hit. We simply cannot verify that these roads are safe to travel,” Tangenberg said. “We expect to learn of additional failures, slumping or slides on these and other roads. We ask our visitors to respect the closures – these roads are just not safe.”
“We recognize how important these roads are to our local communities’ economic health, but Mother Nature decided to end our five-year drought with more water than the Forest could sustain,” Tangenberg said. “We are working with the Federal Highways Administration to help fund repairs for the numerous failures.”
Road failures will impact some popular camping and day use areas, Tangenberg said. “Many of these roads are the primary access to areas like the State Game Reserve and popular camping areas. We just aren’t certain there is any reliable road access to these areas, but until we are, some camping areas and other recreation sites are closed.”
A list of known road and recreation site closures is posted on the Stanislaus National Forest home page at https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/stanislaus/stormdamage. Visitors will find a map of closed roads and recreation sites, photos and closure orders. The maps and closure lists will be updated regularly, with the date clearly noted. “These documents will be snapshots of what we know about Forest conditions. We know they will change as we are able to access and inspect roads and recreation sites,” Tangenberg said.


Between January and March 2017, a series of strong storms hit California, causing extensive damage to roads, trails, infrastructure, and ecosystems on all national forests in the state. Stanislaus National Forest suffered landslides and road failures on all ranger districts.
To see a map of the extent of the damage, click on the Forest Closure Area Map link on the right. The maps and the damage list are as of April 24, 2017 and will be updated each Wednesday. Updated information will include the date it was posted to the web page. Photos may be viewed on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfsregion5/with/33905889850/.
The Forest Closure orders may be viewed on the link at right. The areas listed in the Forest Closure orders will be closed until at least Dec. 31, 2018.
Under normal conditions, seasonally closed roads open in mid-April. The record amounts of snow mean many roads may remain impassible for many weeks past that date. View extended seasonal closures due to weather conditions.
The following roads were damaged over the winter and are closed until repairs are made:
