Current and Scheduled Impacts (Updated 07/03/25)

  • Lower Lehman Creek Campground Closure beginning May 19, 2025. Closure in place for continuation of the Lower Lehman Creek Rehabilitation and Expansion project.
  • Lehman Caves Closure anticipated to begin October 2025. Closure will allow for replacement and upgrade of the current electrical system in Lehman Caves during the slowest times of year.

Lehman Caves Electrical Upgrade and Replacement

This SNPLMA funded project will replace the aging lighting system inside Lehman Caves with modernized equipment and infrastructure. As it currently stands, parts are no longer manufactured for a number of cave systems, and sections of the cave are forced to go dark as components fail. The original lighting system was installed in 1941 and was replaced with the current lighting system in 1977.

Dates: Winter 2025 through Spring 2026

Status 06/2025: Demolition and construction are slated to begin in Winter of 2025. Anticipated closure of Lehman Caves begins in October for the first phase of the project.

Refurbish and Improve the Lower Lehman Creek Campground

This project involves redevelopment and expansion of Lower Lehman Creek Campground from 11 to 20 sites, including accessibility upgrades, a host site, information kiosk and trailhead improvements, new waterlines, and an expanded entrance road. Three sites will be upgraded to accommodate those with accessibility needs.

Dates: May 19, 2025 through Winter 2025

Status 06/2025: Work will continue beginning May 19th to expand the campground by adding additional campsites and rehabilitating existing ones.

Alternatives: Camping will be available at other campgrounds in the park. All park campgrounds are on Recreation.gov. Find more camping information on our campgrounds page.
