Roads

The main road, FR701, and several spur roads are open for public use year-round, but snow removal in winter is not guaranteed.  Log trucks and other heavy equipment frequently use the roads on the Fernow, including during the winter months.  Consequently, be cautious when driving or otherwise using the roads on the Fernow.
