The road that accesses the Doerner Fir Trail in eastern Coos County will be closed temporarily while forest management activities occur on nearby private lands. Bureau of Land Management road 27-9-21.0 will be closed starting on Oct. 20, 2022. The closure is expected to last approximately three months.
The Bureau of Land Management is closing the road in conjunction with the private timber company to protect visitor and operator safety. Though the trailhead and other facilities around the Doerner Fir will be temporarily inaccessible, the logging will not affect the Doerner Fir Trail or BLM-managed lands.
The Doerner Fir Trail is a half-mile forested trail that leads visitors to one of the world’s largest coastal Douglas-fir trees, measuring 327 feet tall. For more information on the Doerner Fir, please visit blm.gov/visit/doerner-fir-trail.
