June 24, the Superior National Forest issued an Emergency Forest Closure Order 09-09-24-05, for June Storm Restrictions - restricting occupancy and use in several affected areas across the 3-million-acre National Forest.
September 18, a press release was issued with updates to the closure order with attached Exhibits A & B. One road was marked as opened in error. FR 913C (Comfort Lake Boat Access West) is currently closed. Below is a link to the corrected exhibits and a corrected press release. Please disregard the September 18 release.
The area continues to have an on-going travel advisory due to shoulder and infrastructure erosion that may not be readily apparent to the traveling public, we encourage situational awareness for personal safety. Forest staff encourages interested public to see all related storm updates on the Superior National Forest's website - www.fs.usda.gov/superior, see Alerts
