Not included in these restrictions are coastal Lane County parks located west of milepost 18 on Highway 126, including Archie Knowles Campground and Harbor Vista Campground. Lane County will continue to monitor weather conditions, especially humidity and wind, to determine if further restric- tions become necessary, including potential park and trail closures. While these restrictions may cause some inconvenience to park visitors, Lane County appreciates the understanding of the community as we work together to protect our highly valued public parks and the safety of park users.
