As of Friday, June 8, 2007, Pedro Ramos, Acting Superintendent, Big Cypress National Preserve, announced that all fire related closures within the Preserve have been removed. This allows visitors to once again access the entire Florida Trail within the Preserve boundaries, the Bear Island Unit, and areas of the Addition Lands north of Interstate 75.
All non-fire related closures remain in affect. This includes the annual 60 day recreational ORV access closure that was implemented on June, and will remain in affect through Thursday, August 2. Additionally some facilities within the Preserve remain closed for the slow summer season.

Fire activity related to the Big Cypress Complex Fires has been greatly reduced though Preserve fire staff continue monitoring and mop-up of fire areas.
