A small portion of the Angeles National Forest remains temporarily closed after the Bobcat Fire (2020) and subsequent floods–effective June 14, 2024, through October 1, 2024.
By News Desk
This area includes Chantry Flats, a popular recreation area near Sierra Madre, and Arcadia, and trails and access points within/around this vicinity.
The purpose of the closure is to facilitate natural recovery. Additional repairs are still needed in the Chantry Flats area after the Bobcat Fire and post-fire flooding. Los Angeles County still continues road work, and the Forest Service is repairing and improving recreational infrastructure. In addition, forest volunteer groups have been diligently working to rebuild and repair trails. The goal is to reopen the area as soon as possible.
