Hi All, just wanted to make sure everyone attending this years BBB is aware of the USFS Line Fire closure areas. The Forest Order No. 05-12-52-25-01 Line Fire Closure has been extended due to continued hazards in the area through September 30, 2025.
As part of the USFS OHV program, we patrolled the closure area on 4/19 to document, educate, and provide updates on what work needs to happen to get this area opened up again. Unfortunately it’s not something that will happen in short order and the area will remain closed. Please do not plan any runs from Highland to Big Bear though 1N16, 1N09, 1N54 or any forest roads south of Big Bear Lake. I am providing a link to the order and a MAP so you can plan accordingly. There are still plenty of the most popular amazing runs and camping areas that can be done north, west and east of Big Bear Lake. This should not impact the fun that’s had every year at this event. Most of the runs in this area we see on the way to and from the event.

I will be attending the event and have plenty of OHV physical maps to hand out to attendees. We will also plan a Rigs and Restoration run for those looking to volunteer some time with the Socal Mountains Foundation and help keep or forest roads clean, safe, and open for all to enjoy. This will be an easy run that any rig can do. Stay tuned for details.
If there are any questions let me know.
