PARK UPDATE:

July 26, 2024: Due to unhealthy air quality and per order of the Department of Environmental Quality, we will be implementing an open burn ban at Dworshak, Winchester, McCroskey, and Hells Gate State Parks. This means no campfires, charcoal, or gas fire rings. You can still use gas cookstoves.

Thank you for your understanding!
