Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the following access areas are now open, effective immediately: M.R King Ranches, Troy Ranches, Iron Mountain, Virtue Flat, Foster Ranch, Glass Hill, Owsley Canyon, Bear Creek, Carman Ranch, Harshfield Ranch, Divide Ridge, Heppner Regulated Hunt Area, Social Ridge, Four Mile, and Bunker Hill.

These areas were initially closed in July due to extreme fire conditions, including limited firefighting resources and severe weather. Although fire risk remains high, the conditions have returned to more typical August levels for the region.

However, Manulife (formerly Hancock) Forest Management Lands in northeast Oregon remain closed at this time.

Hunters and others visiting these areas should adhere to local fire restrictions, which generally prohibit campfires and off-road vehicle travel, and require a 2.5-pound fire extinguisher in vehicles or ATVs.
