A portion of the Bureau of Land Management-administered Dry Medicine Lodge Creek Road is temporarily closed to motorized vehicles due to hazards, including washouts and rock slides, that have made the road impassable. This temporary closure of approximately 5.5 miles of the lower portion of the road, commonly known as the Dugway, is in conjunction with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. The closure begins at the gate at the state park boundary near the campground. The road remains open to pedestrian travel.
