⚠️Reminder: Cabin Creek Project Area Closure⚠️
Tahoe National Forest’s Cabin Creek Project area near Jackass and El B***o trails remains closed, official trails are open.
The project’s implementation timeline was prioritized to impact recreation access as little as possible. On May 1, the closure area was reduced to reflect the reopening of the Donkey Town trail network. The project is entering its second season of implementation with what is expected to take three to five years overall.
Active operations are expected to begin this week. For public safety, visitors are asked to stick to official trails within the Jackass and El B***o area and be aware of active heavy equipment.
The project aims to reduce the risk of wildfire in the area, improve forest health and enhance the ecosystem.
