California State Parks plans to conduct a prescribed burn October 29th in Calaveras Big Trees State Park with assistance from CAL FIRE, US Forest Service, and National Park Service. All burning depends on weather and air quality conditions. If weather or vegetation conditions are not conducive for burning and smoke dispersal, State Parks will reschedule the treatment. As a result of the prescribed burning, visitors should expect park closures including the South Grove Trail, Beaver Creek area, Bradley Grove Trail, fire road around the South Grove, and the Walter W. Smith Memorial Parkway south of the Stanislaus River. This closure would last through the fall and winter season. For more information please visit, Prescribed Fire at Calaveras Big Trees.
