REDDING, Calif.— Public access to parts of three recreation trails in the west Redding area will be restricted while crews from the Bureau of Land Management repair damages related to the Lower Fire which broke out Aug. 10 near the community of Shasta.
The BLM said access to the Lower Salt Creek Trail from Baker Hill Road to the large bridge will be restricted along with access to the Middle Creek connector trail and the Trail 50 connector trail. The restrictions are needed for public safety and will be lifted when fire repairs are completed.
Miles of trails in the west Redding area remain open to the public. Information is available by visiting the Redding Field Office online, by stopping by the office at 6640 Lockheed Drive in Redding, by telephone at 530-224-2100, or by emailing questions to BLM_CA_Web_RE@blm.gov.
