The Logan Ranger District has opened some of the mid-elevation gates. The gates in Cowley Canyon, Herd Hollow, West Hodges, the second gate in Green Canyon, and the first gate in Temple Fork Canyon are now open. With heavy spring runoff we have experienced some damage on some of these roads. While we continue to evaluate these damages and plan for repairs, we urge caution as you recreate on forest roads and trails.

Please see the Logan Ranger District Motor Vehicle Use Map for dispersed camping designations. Logan Cave: The cave is gated closed to public entry. The cave was closed on October 1, 1997 to ensure the viability of a rare and special biological community of Townsend's Big-Eared Bats that is located in Logan Cave. The bats are particularly vulnerable to human disturbance during their periods of mating, hibernation, and maternity colony, which runs from about October to August each year. The Big-Eared Bat is listed as a sensitive species by both the Forest Service and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. To aid with protecting this species during their vulnerable period, it is prohibited to go into or within 250 feet of the mouth of the Logan Cave. Certified Weed Free Hay: To prevent the spread of noxious weeds into vulnerable ecosystems on National Forest System lands, hay, straw, and mulch must be certified weed free.
