Wizard Falls hatchery grounds temporarily close for maintenance, Feb. 14

CAMP SHERMAN, Ore. – Crews at Wizard Falls fish hatchery will conduct hazardous tree removal starting Feb. 17 through Feb. 21. Public access will be restricted to the main parking lot during this time. Anglers and hikers who wish to park at the hatchery may do so but cannot access the facility grounds due to safety concerns during tree removal. Hiking trails nearby remain open. Winter storms damaged some trees at Wizards Falls hatchery that need to be removed to prevent structural damage to the facility or serious injury to staff or visitors. ODFW will conduct yearly maintenance of trees on the hatchery grounds during winter months which will have the least impact on visitors because it is a slower time of year for visitation.
