The closure is due to precipitation amounts received on the Upper Lake Ranger District during the past 24 hours.
The Bartlett Springs Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) recorded more than 3 inches of precipitation in 24 hours today as of 6 p.m. PST, with more precipitation coming.
The trails are scheduled to reopen the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 28, or when there have been 48 consecutive hours of no measurable precipitation, whichever occurs first. However, if there is not a period of 48 hours of no measurable precipitation, the closure may be extended.
As the winter storm season starts and wet weather becomes more common, visitors planning OHV trips to the forest are encouraged to visit the Mendocino National Forest Web site at www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino , or to call the forest at 530-934-3316 to verify that trails are open before traveling.
Using the trails in their current condition would result in damage not only to the trails, but would also impact other resources including soils, water quality and wildlife habitat.
“We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation with continuing the temporary OHV trail system closure on the Upper Lake Ranger District,” said Forest Supervisor Tom Contreras. “By closing the trails now and preventing further damage, we are reducing the risk of longer closures for costly repairs and restoration efforts. Waiting for conditions to improve and the trails to dry out will help us continue to provide quality recreation areas for OHV riders.”
The Emergency Trail Closure for the Mendocino National Forest is formally referenced under Order Number 08-10-12.
Violation of this closure order is punishable by a fine of no more than $5,000 for an individual, $10,000 for an organization, or up to six months imprisonment or both.
For more information, please contact the Mendocino National Forest at 530-934-3316 or visit www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino.

The presentations will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17; Saturday, Dec. 18; Friday, Dec. 24; Saturday, Dec. 25; and Friday, Jan. 7.
Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater, “Mystery of the Christmas Star” allows audiences to journey back 2,000 years to Bethlehem as we seek to discover a scientific explanation for the star the wise men followed to find the baby Jesus.
The show investigates possible dates for the birth of Christ and looks at recorded sightings of significant astronomical events during this timeframe.
What signs in the sky could have been remarkable enough to cause the wise men to travel across the desert from Babylon to Bethlehem just to see a newborn King? This modern retelling of the Christmas story is sure to charm and captivate audiences of all ages.
The planetarium is a perfect place to study this because of its ability to exactly reproduce the skies as seen from Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago.
Show prices are $6 for adults and $3 for children under 12.
The show is not recommended for children under age 6.
Reservations are recommended.
For more information, visit www.taylorobservatory.org or call 707-262-4121.
The Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium is located at 5725 Oak Hills Lane, Kelseyville.
