AN AREA OF THE CARSON NATIONAL FOREST THAT’S BEEN CLOSED FOR FOUR YEARS WILL REOPEN LATER THIS MONTH. THE CANJILON LAKES RECREATIONAL AREA WAS SHUT DOWN IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 FOR SAFETY REASONS. FOREST OFFICIALS SAY DEAD TREES RESULTING FROM INSECTS, DISEASE, AND DROUGHT LED TO HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR VISITORS AND EMPLOYEES.
THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE GAME AND FISH, THOSE TREES HAVE NOW BEEN CUT DOWN. THE AREA WILL REOPEN FOR PUBLIC USE ON AUGUST 22ND AT 8AM.
