Fall Prescribed Burning on Inyo National Forest
This fall season, Inyo National Forest fire personnel will be looking for windows of opportunity to conduct up to 2,193 acres of broadcast prescribed burning on the Mono Lake and Mammoth Ranger Districts to restore forest health and reduce hazardous fuels. Smoke will drift and settle into the valley areas, especially at night. This includes areas such as Highway 395, Mammoth Scenic Loop, Owens River Road, Crowley Lake, and Owens River Gorge. If necessary, smoke-sensitive individuals may need to take precautions to minimize smoke impacts. Visit fire.airnow.gov to check particulate levels before you visit the Owens Valley area in general. Location is south of June Lake Junction, north of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Smoke and flame may be visible from many miles away, including along the Highway 395 corridor north of Toms Place and south of Conway Summit, from Deadman Creek Road, Owens River Road, Bald Mountain Road, Glass Creek Road and the Mammoth Scenic Loop.
