Frequently Asked Questions
Roads
- How can I report road or trail conditions? Report
road or trail conditions to either a ranger district office, supervisor's
office or any forest service personnel that you might encounter.
Leave a note on your way home or drop it in the mail. Please include
the road or trail name and number if available, the condition,
its approximate location, and the date observed. Photos are always
good.
- Who keeps the Cascade Lakes Highway open for skiing?
The Oregon Department of Transportation keeps the
roads open to all of the major winter recreation areas in the
state. This work is funded by the Oregon Sno-Park Permit which
allows you to park your car in the parking lots at the skiing
areas.
- Why are some roads closed to motorized use? Some
roads are closed to motorized use to minimize disturbance to wildlife,
reduce damage to roads, and to minimize erosion. Closures and
restriction occur in various forms. You may see locked gates,
boulders, high berms or signs depending on the type of closure.
Most of these closures only restrict motorized travel, which means
the road is still open to hiking and horse back riding.
