Wet weather trail closures restrict the use of OHV trails when conditions are too wet to sustain use without causing soil loss, impacting water quality, damaging trail tread and putting public safety at risk.
Trails are reopened after 48 hours of no precipitation.

MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. — Forest officials will be lifting the OHV wet weather trail closures (Forest Order No. 08-24-15 and 08-24-16) on the Upper Lake and Grindstone Ranger Districts at 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 28.
Please be advised, trails being “open” does not mean they are cleared or accessible.
Staff will not have a chance to survey trails and assess storm damage before this weekend.
Riders should be prepared to encounter downed trees, mud or rock slides blocking roads or trails, washouts, snow and ice, even hazards like downed trees under snow.
This was a major winter storm with high winds and over 10” of precipitation in some parts of the forest.
Forest roads and trails are prone to slides and downed trees in winter, and there will be impassable spots. Trail users should avoid riding in muddy conditions to help preserve these trails.
