UPDATE Nov 16, 2017:
In anticipation of falling temperatures, certain facilities in Bullfrog, Halls Crossing and Hite have been winterized. These amenities will start to be reopened on March 15, 2018.
The following facilities are closed for the winter season:

At the Bullfrog boat pump-out (BPO), the water is shut off and unavailable. As in past winters, the porta-potty dumps on the Bullfrog BPO will remain open with a bucket to provide lake water for flushing purposes. The pumps need to be winterized on a daily basis. Between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., boaters may contact park dispatch at 928-608-6301 to request that the Bullfrog pumping system be opened.
