FIRE INFORMATION AND RESTRICTIONS

Fire Restrictions


Fires are permitted only in designated fire grates in developed campgrounds and picnic areas. All open fires are prohibited in backcountry campsites. However, petroleum fueled stoves and grills will still be permitted in designated backcountry campsites, as well as developed campgrounds and picnic areas. Smoking is also prohibited, except within enclosed vehicles, parking lots or developed areas that are cleared of all flammable materials for at least three feet in diameter. Visitors are reminded of potential carelessness and are cautioned to properly extinguish all lighted smoking materials to avoid receiving fines.
