A temporary closure order has been issued for several campgrounds, roads, and trails in Daggett County. The closures include Firefighters Memorial Campground, Greendale Group Campsite, Forest Service Roads 610 and 689, and portions of Forest Service Trails 103, 003, and 004. “The closures are being issued as a precaution due to their location near the Speirs Fire,” shares the announcement from the Forest Service. “This will provide for public safety and provide future access for fire resources. Currently, fire activity remains light due to the precipitation received Monday. The closures are intended to prevent future concerns should fire activity increase.” As of Tuesday’s announcement there are no evacuations of other campgrounds, marinas, roads, trails, or developed recreation sites within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. In fact, boating access to the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam also remains open.
