SUSANVILLE, Calif. — The Bureau of Land Management has issued a temporary emergency closure on part of the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail in response to a rockslide that has blocked the route about three miles west of the Susanville Trailhead.

“We are going to need heavy equipment to remove these boulders, some of which are nearly the size of a small car,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office in Susanville. “We also need to stabilize the hillside to reduce the chances of more falling rock. We ask that people stay out of the slide area for their own safety.”

Trail access is still available from the Susanville Trailhead to the slide area, and from the Devil’s Corral Trailhead. The BLM asks that trail users monitor conditions and stay off the trail when it is muddy.

BLM announces temporary closure of Fleener Creek Trailhead in Humboldt County

ARCATA, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management has announced a temporary closure of the Fleener Creek Trailhead and parking lot in the Lost Coast Headlands in Humboldt County for public safety, due to ongoing landslides that have damaged wooden steps needed for accessing steep parts of the trail.

Sections of the steps have fallen away as the soil has slumped, making the upper sections of the trail impassable.

“Our staff are evaluating the situation to determine what repairs are needed, and how long those repairs will take,” said Collin Ewing, manager of the BLM Arcata Field Office. “The situation has been exacerbated by ongoing winter storms. We will work to re-open the trail as soon as it can be repaired or rerouted safely.”

There is alternate day use parking at the main Lost Coast Headlands entrance, and alternate beach access parking at Guthrie Creek Trailhead.

The Lost Coast Headlands are along the coastal bluffs south of the mouth of the Eel River, approximately 280 miles north of San Francisco, 25 miles south of Eureka, and six miles west of Ferndale. The 463 acres of public land provide seasonal beach access and include grasslands with scattered patches of forest and portions of the Fleener Creek and Guthrie Creek watersheds.

The site is popular for hiking, bird watching, wildflower viewing, and beachcombing and is part of the California Coastal National Monument.

For updates and more information on the area, please visit the Lost Coast Headlands webpage.
