OREGON STATE PARKS: SADDLE MOUNTAIN TO CLOSE MAY 6-10 FOR TREE PROJECT WITH MORE CLOSURES THIS SUMMER/FALL

Posted on May 4, 2025May 4, 2025 by Editor

(SEASIDE, Oregon) — Saddle Mountain State Natural Area is scheduled for multiple temporary closures due to construction and tree projects with the first one starting May 6 through May 10 and additional closures in late summer and fall 2025.

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is partnering with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in May to remove potentially hazardous trees along Highway 26 near Saddle Mountain.

The work will begin May 5 and include intermittent lane closures on Highway 26 and Saddle Mountain Road for the first few days of the project. Saddle Mountain State Natural Area will be closed temporarily May 6 and is expected to reopen May 10.

The collaboration gives OPRD additional support in removing trees that pose a risk to park infrastructure, visitors and their property while providing an opportunity for ODOT sawyers to get tree felling training.

Saddle Mountain State Natural Area is also scheduled to close for several additional projects in late summer and fall 2025.

  • August: Bridge repair work that is slated to last about one week.
  • August/September: Road repair project that includes repaving or overlaying seven of the nine miles of Saddle Mountain Road as well as culvert repair and replacement of crushed stone along road shoulders. The work is scheduled to last about one month.
  • Fall: Crews will remove hazard trees and fire-damaged trees and thin some areas for forest health. The work is slated to last two to four months depending on the weather and construction schedules.

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will share additional information and dates for the closures as they become available. For updates, please check the park webpage at https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=140.
