effective Nov. 1.
Seasonal camping will remain closed throughout the wet season.
The forest will be open for day use only from sunrise to sunset by foot, bicycle and equestrian use regardless of weather conditions.
Forest roads will be subject to temporary closure pending wet weather conditions.
Cal Fire asks recreators to limit vehicle travel to improved rocked roads and avoid seasonal dirt roads when vehicle access is open.
These temporary closures are for public safety, environmental quality and to prevent long term closures from overuse when roads are saturated or snowed in.
OHV and off roading is strictly prohibited forestwide.
Forest staff will be committed to forest management duties such as maintaining recreational facilities, prescribed burning, road work, fuels reduction and timber operations.
Firewood and rock permits are sold by appointment only and are $20 per permit, cash or check only.
Cal Fire encourages forest visitors to plan ahead before arriving to the forest and avoid recreating during inclement weather conditions.
Call the Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest office at 707-928-4378 or visit them online at www.fire.ca.gov for more information.

Free Fishing Days are a great opportunity to enjoy one of California’s most popular pastimes and to get introduced to fishing at no cost.
Those interested in fishing in California’s lakes, streams and rivers can find information about inland fishing locations and species on the CDFW website. Information is also available about year-round free fishing opportunities found on specific piers, jetties and breakwaters along the coast, to help with planning pier fishing adventures.
Other helpful tools for anglers include the fish planting schedule, fishing guide and various Recruit, Retain, Reactivate Program resources.
Virtual offerings are also available from CDFW’s Fishing in the City program, which focuses on teaching Californians how and where to fish in metropolitan areas. General information about the Fishing in the City program can be found on the CDFW website.
Children 15 and younger can fish for free every day of the year in California, but Free Fishing Days offer a time when families and friends can experience the hobby together. As a licensed angler, utilize Free Fishing Days as an opportunity to introduce non-angling friends to fishing and the outdoors.
All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect. CDFW encourages potential anglers to check rules and regulations for each water they plan to fish.
CDFW hopes more Californians get “hooked” on fishing. If that happens, be sure to purchase an annual resident sport fishing license.
Beginning in 2023, annual sport fishing licenses are valid for a full 365-days from the date of purchase. The revenue generated from license sales helps conserve fish populations and habitats while supporting California's longstanding angling opportunities for future generations.
