Based on the status of nearby fires, local forecasts with cooler temperatures and some precipitation, and long-range projections for fire behavior, Crater Lake National Park has lifted the level 1 evacuation notification.

Marsha McCabe of the National Park Service said staff will continue to monitor conditions and will reissue any evacuation notifications that are needed.

McCabe said fall can be a beautiful time to enjoy the park. All trails are currently open as are all park entrances. Rim Village Café and Gifts is open daily. Mazama Campground and Camper Store are open through the weekend but are scheduled to close for the season on Monday. Crater Lake Lodge will remain open for guests until Monday, October 12th. McCabe said all roads within the park are open except for Pinnacles Road, which has been closed due to the threat of falling trees. It will be reassessed soon for possible reopening.

A complete ban on all wood and charcoal fires is still in effect. Wood and charcoal fires are not permitted in any location throughout the park. The regulation is being strictly enforced.
