COBB, Calif. — Cal Fire reported this week that its Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest has experienced significant damage from the winter storms that began last month and culminated with the pineapple express that hit on Sunday.

The storms resulted in downed trees in recreation sites, on roads and trails, creating safety issues for the public, Cal Fire reported.

As a result, Cal Fire said vehicle access will be restricted to the main parking lot until further notice while crews work to clear the roads.

Cal Fire asked community members to use special caution due to the downed trees, limbs and debris.

Boggs has been in winter season management since Nov. 1 but remains open for day use only from sunrise to sunset by foot, bicycle and equestrian use. Forest roads are subject to temporary closure pending wet weather conditions.
