Recreational campfires

Attention: Effective July 19 2023, 12:01 am, PacifiCorp is instituting a temporary campfire restriction at the shoreline dispersed campsites on Yale and Swift Reservoirs. The restriction will remain in effect until further notice. This is intended to prevent unnecessary risk of human caused wildifires in areas where oversight of public use and fire response is not readily available. The shoreline dispersed campsite fire restriction is in line with the Gifford Pinchot National Forest campfire restriction in placed into effect July 10, 2023. This restriction includes building. maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire, including charcoal fire and pellet fire within all PacifiCorp shoreline dispersed campsites. Portable cooking stoves and lanterns using liquefied or bottled fuel, such as propane, are still allowed as they can be instantly switched off and do not cause sparks or embers.

Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or charcoal fire is still allowed within the developed campgrounds and day use areas along the Lewis River.

Campfires on Private Land

are permitted with the landowner’s permission if built in the following approved manner: - In a metal, stone or masonry lined fire pit such as those seen in approved campgrounds

- May not exceed 3 feet in diameter

- Located a minimum of 25 feet from any structure or combustible materials including overhead fuels

Campfires must be attended at all times by a responsible person at least 16-years old with the ability and tools to extinguish the fire, such as a shovel and either five gallons of water or a connected and charged water hose.

Be a good neighbor.

Recreational fires may not cause a smoke or odor nuisance to surrounding properties and may be subject to seasonal fire safety burn bans.

Fires are not to be left unattended at any time.

Please remember to completely extinguish campfires by pouring water or moist soil in them and stirring with a shovel until all parts are cool to the touch. The use of self-contained camp stoves is encouraged as an alternative.
