The Rubicon Trail is CLOSED until further notice.
Due to Forest Service closures and increased fire danger the Rubicon Trail is closed. If you have any questions please call 530.621.7538.
Update: 9/14/2020
I just received word that
the Forest Service is extending the order for one week. Till Monday September
21, 2020. The Rubicon Trail will stay closed until the order is lifted.
I want to share with you
the factors that go into this decision. The Rubicon is an unmaintained County
Road. We have a 50' easement from the Forest Service. With the forest closed
that means no camping and no day use. So this would mean that there would be no
stopping along the trail. Once you cross the county line into Placer County you
are on Forest Service land with is closed.
Placer County does not have an easement.
My last conversation with
the Rubicon Springs owners they were not allowing camping. So it makes sense for public safety and the
safety of the Rubicon to work with agencies and do what we feel is the right
thing. These are crazy times we are in
right now and I will do my best to keep you informed.
- We would like to hear from you about your experience on the trail. Please send your comments, concerns or questions to vickie.sanders@edcgov.us
