MRRD Habitat Protection Gates

Willamette National Forest Lane, Oregon McKenzie River Ranger District

We are proposing to install two gates (one on Forest Service road 2633-706 and the other on Forest Service road 2654-782) and establish a motorized closure on a combined total of 1.25 miles of road behind these gates to protect habitat.

Location

Road 2633-706 is approximately 1 mile northeast of the town of McKenzie Bridge. Road 2654-782 is along Deer Creek, approximately 7 miles northeast of the town of McKenzie Bridge.
