Splinter's Cabin Access Road Closed Due to Winter Storm Damage
Press Release from the US Forest Service
By News Staff Member
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Skyforest, CA — Significant rainfall and run off in Little Bear Creek has damaged the road crossing on the popular Splinter's Cabin access road on the Mountaintop Ranger District. The recent storms undermined the road crossing of the creek, which is now unsafe for motor vehicles. The road will be closed to motor vehicles until further notice until repairs are completed.
The road and the forest remain open for visitors on foot, horseback and bicycles. Visitors are asked to park along Forest Road 3N34, parking clear of the gate and roadway in case fire and emergency crews need to access the Deep Creek area.
Visitors entering the area from Hook Creek road please veer right onto Forest Road 3N34, drive a short distance to a dirt parking area on the left side of the road. Follow the trail north along the ridge a short distance then down the hill to Splinter's Cabin.
A couple points to remember:
- Conditions may change without notice. "Know Before You Go." Please call the Arrowhead Ranger Station at (909) 382-2782.
- Please exercise caution when crossing Little Bear Creek.
- Bicycles are permitted to Splinters Cabin, however cannot be ridden on the Pacific Crest Trail.
- Please do not block the access road gate
- Forest Adventure Pass is required and must be displayed on parked vehicles.
- Deep Creek is a day use area; overnight camping is not permitted.
- Wood and charcoal fires and barbecues are not permitted outside of developed campgrounds and picnic areas.
