Forest Officials Remind Visitors Of Seasonal Road Closures

Sonora, CA – Stanislaus National Forest officials are reminding visitors that the seasonal road closures now in effect will last until the middle of April.

Many forest roads, especially those in the upper elevations, were closed on Monday, December 15, 2025, as part of the forest’s regular Season of Use Closure, which lasts through April 15.

“Forest Service roads are closed during the winter season as a safety measure for forest visitors and forest staff and to prevent resource damage due to wet/muddy conditions,” relayed forest officials.

Copies of each Ranger District Motor Vehicle Use Map are available at all Stanislaus National Forest Ranger Stations. Forest officials provided this list of roads impacted by the seasonal closure:
