Aufderheide is open again

Fire recovery work on Forest Service Road (FSR) 19, also known as Aufderheide Drive, was completed this week and the road is now open to thru traffic from Highway 126 to Highway 58. Recreational day-use sites and campgrounds, including Terwilliger "Cougar" Hot Springs, are now accessible from Highway 126. Fire recovery work and safety mitigations included the removal of hazardous trees, rock scaling, and the replacement of guard rails.

Maintenance work on FSR 19, such as road paving and landslide removal, will continue throughout the summer and may cause delays. For current conditions, call the McKenzie River Ranger District at 541-822-3381 or the Middle Fork Ranger District at 541-782-2283..
