Beginning Monday, April 22, the Deschutes National Forest road crew plans to conduct maintenance on the Phil’s Trailhead parking lot. Maintenance activities will include adding additional rock material and fixing potholes.
Starting Monday and continuing throughout the maintenance work, Phil’s Trailhead parking lot will be closed to all traffic, including vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Parking will not be allowed along Forest Service Road 4604 above the green gate to allow hauling of material and passage of heavy equipment. Maintenance operations are slated to last at least a week, but could be longer if weather or conditions change. Any breaches to the closed area could delay operations and extend the closure.
Forest Service Road 4604, which provides access to Phil’s Trailhead will remain open. Parking will be available south of Phil’s Trailhead. Ben’s, Kent’s and Phil’s Trail will remain open and can be accessed via Marvin’s Garden.
For more information or questions, please contact the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District at (541)383-5300.
