Title: Black Canyon Fire - Access to Umtanum/Manastash
Post by: debord35 on August 07, 2024, 08:32:33 AM

Hey guys -

With the recent Black Canyon fire near Wenas, I heard that access to that area is closed to the public until Aug 23rd.   Does anyone know if that has been lifted now that the fire is contained?   Any idea the best place to check on status of open/closed areas in Umtanum/Manastash Units?   I am hoping to get up there to scout/get familiar with the roads a bit more and don't want to drive 4 hours and have to turn around and head home!   

Thanks for any info/tips you can share -

Dan

Well - apparently all I had to do was do a little google search - Here is a link in case anyone else needs it:

Hey Dan I got this off the wdfw website. I believe this pertains to only  the Wenas wildlife area.
