Water Quality Advisory
A health advisory has been issued for Lake Cascade and the North Fork of the Payette River below the
Cascade Dam for a cyanobacteria bloom.
Fall 2024 Update (10/15/2024):
All water has been shut off and all facilities winterized.
The following campgrounds have been closed for the season: Huckleberry, Buttercup, Curlew, West Mountain, Sugarloaf, Crown Point, Sage Bluff, Ridgeview, Van Wyck, and Big Sage.
Poison Creek and Blue Heron are open: first-come, first-served. No reservations needed for the rest of 2024.

Starting Oct. 28th, visitors may see digging of small holes in numerous locations across the Poison Creek Campground. This is an archeological examination of the area for any potential cultural resources and is related to the permitting for the proposed Tamarack Marina project. The work is expected to end by December.

As a reminder, we are moving to a new reservation system, so we are not taking reservations for 2025 until January 6, 2025. Stay tuned for more information.
