While patches
of the landscape around Skilak Lake Road were unburned, there are still dangerous
and widespread hazards as a result of the Swan Lake Fire. These hazards include
trees with weakened and burned out roots, numerous trees across trails, trail
surfaces with compromised terrain and ash pits. Some of these hazards are
difficult to see but incredibly dangerous. Unfortunately, a portion of Skilak Lake
Road will be closed for some time until these hazards can be mitigated. Please adhere
to area closure signs.
