Silverwood Lake Recreation Area remains closed, with no date for reopening set, state park officials announced.
On June 28, the Lake fire erupted near the recreation area south of Hesperia, consuming nearly 490 acres, prompting evacuations of all visitors and causing power outages. Officials closed the area, including a portion of the Pacific Coast Trail, and continued the closure through the Fourth of July weekend.
Officials said they would reassess conditions Monday, July 7, but the situation has not changed.
In a news release Monday, park officials said public safety hazards persist. The fire, now fully contained, has burned about 489 acres and damaged structures and infrastructure. A large portion of the Cleghorn Day Use Area is impacted, officials said, as are hillsides, roads and trails along the west side of Silverwood Lake, including portions of the Pacific Crest Trail.
As of midday Tuesday, Highway 138 remained closed from Old Mill Road to Highway 173.
Officials said the recreation area will remain closed until Highway 138 reopens, but they did not have an estimated date for the highway reopening.
In the meantime, all camping reservations will be canceled, officials said, and refunds will be processed through ReserveCalifornia.com.
