NEW CAMPING AND CAMPFIRE REGULATIONS FOR FOSSIL CREEK - BEGINNING 3/8/10

To help protect Fossil Creek, beginning March 8 2010, campfires will be prohibited throughout Fossil Creek and camping will be limited to certain areas away from the creek.  Last summer the Forest Service had to put out over 200 abandoned camp fires. Because Fossil Creek is one of only two Wild and Scenic Rivers in Arizona, these steps are necessary to preserve this natural treasure.

CINCH HOOK PIT CLOSED TO ENTRY

NO SNOW PLAY PERMITTED

Cinch Hook gravel pit, located on Highway 87 and Highway 260 junction north of Strawberry is closed to entry for all visitors, including snowplay, for the entire winter.  Despite the Forest Service current managment efforts, problem with trash, sanitation, vandalism, and safe use of the area have prompted the closure for public health and safety.   Highway 87 and 260 are posted for no parking. Illegal parking along these state highways creates bottlenecks and very dangerous traffic conditions. 

VISITORS WANTING TO PLAY IN THE SNOW..... are asked to contact the Flagstaff Visitors Center at 928-774-9541 or 1-800-842-7293 to get information about other snow play areas.  For questions about Cinch Hook area please call the Mogollon Ranger District 928-477-2255.
