Public Use Restrictions

June 27, 2024: There are currently no Public Use Restrictions (PURs) on the RRSNF at this time. 

Public use restrictions remain at Stage1 on the Wild and Scenic Rogue River

Fire restrictions are put in place by forests to help avoid human-caused wildfires. At all times please follow these campfire safety tips:

• Always abide by local campfire laws.
• Only adults should build and maintain campfires.
• Find a shady spot away from dry logs, overhanging branches, bushes, needles, or leaves.
• Use existing fire-rings where it is safe to do so. Don’t build fire-rings in roads. (Note: within the Grande Ronde Scenic Waterway, campfires must be contained in a fireproof container (i.e., "fire pan") with sides of a height sufficient to contain all ash and debris, and all ashes and debris must be removed from the river corridor. Do not use or construct fire pits or rock fire rings within the Scenic Waterway.)
• Keep campfire rings small and use wood no bigger than the ring.
• Keep tents and other burnable materials away from the fire.
• Never leave a campfire unattended. Those leaving campfires unattended can be billed for the cost of fire suppression.
• Drown the campfire with water and stir charred material.
• When leaving, make sure your fire is DEAD OUT. Very carefully feel all sticks and charred remains. Make sure no roots are smoldering. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.
