I saw a sign saying as such when I was up there fishing recently.

The campgrounds at Woods Canyon Lake should be open. There is one campground closure that I am aware of on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Hoyer Campground at the Greer Lakes is closed due to construction of a new restroom facility.

I have been keeping an eye on the forest lakes snow stick web cam, there is only 3 inches of snow left out of almost 3 feet. The snow is patchy. Keep your fingers crossed that we don't get a late snow dumper. If the weather keeps up, I think FR 300 will be open around april 1st, probabaly at the latest Good friday !!!!!!! Can't wait to get the boat on the water and catch some nice carryover trout !!!

We actually have superb snow pack this year with lots of deep drifts. While this bodes well for a great fishing season in the high country, it could take some time before the snow melts and the lakes along the Rim Road are accessible. On the other hand, unseasonably warm weather or a warm rain could change the equation rapidly. Rory It is too soon to tell. We actually have superb snow pack this year with lots of deep drifts.

Last friday there was still patches of 6"-24" of snow on the road. we will only see when they open i would call the blue ridge ranger district or the one out of Heber (black mesa i believe) the road to lower canyon creek and the colcord side of the Young rd are set to open on April 1 (those roads are closed form Dec. 15- mar. 31)
