Temporary Closure of North Entrance Road Continues

Date:
August 20, 2024
Contact:Marsha McCabe

The North Entrance to Crater Lake National Park remains closed to allow firefighters on the Middle Fork Fire to prepare control lines along the North Entrance Road. Fire crews are reducing fuels along the north-south route creating a defensible zone to keep the Middle Fork Fire from threatening park infrastructure and progressing further east. The North Entrance Road is closed from North Junction to the park boundary at the junction with Highway 138. This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of fire crews and the public. The date for reopening is not known at this time. All other park roads will remain open, except for construction closures on East Rim Drive.

Crater Lake National Park remains open and is accessible from Highway 62 on the western and southern routes. Expect longer lines to access the park due to all traffic coming through one entrance station. For current information about what is open, please visit the park's current conditions page: Current Conditions - Crater Lake National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
