Checks specific to this location
- Verify the exact destination, the land manager’s latest rules and safe travel conditions before leaving.
When was this information last checked?
The recorded review date is August 18, 2026. Treat that date as the evidence snapshot used for this classification. Conditions can change after review, so field decisions should use the newest posted rules and manager information.

No. A map pin answers a navigation or geographic-context question. The status and evidence answer the permission question. Exact coordinates, public destination addresses and approximate county or regional context are deliberately kept separate so geographic precision is not confused with legal authority.
