Commissioners note Bonwell Canyon access will be limited this summer for parking and landslide repairs
Summary
With no Forest Service representative present, a commissioner warned Bonwell Canyon will be closed for much of the summer for parking-area work and landslide repairs, and that access and high-use periods will be reduced.
No Forest Service staff attended the meeting. A commissioner reported that Bonwell Canyon will be shut down for a significant portion of the summer to replace a parking area and repair a landslide-reduced lane, and cautioned that public access will be diminished during high-use times. The commissioner suggested the public is likely already aware but flagged potential spillover to nearby campgrounds.
Staff later relayed that a representative from the Wildlife Refuge thanked the commission for the reminder and noted possible spillover at South Ruby Campground, underscoring the need for public awareness during the closure period.
