The North Entrance to Crater Lake National Park will be open to traffic this holiday weekend/Rebecca Latson fileCrater Lake National Park in Oregon will temporarily open the North Entrance Road for two-way travel beginning 7 a.m. Saturday through Monday to accommodate visitors over the busy Labor Day Weekend.

Long lines and waits of up to two hours should be expected throughout the holiday weekend at both entrance stations. The South Entrance Station is expected to be especially busy Friday as it will be the only entrance into the park. Arriving before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. may reduce wait times. If the park is not your destination, please consider avoiding Highway 62 and taking an alternative route. 

Please be advised that fire operations may necessitate temporary closures or delays along the North Entrance Road at any time.

Beginning at 6 a.m. Tuesday, September 3rd, and continuing until further notice, the North Entrance will again be closed to all traffic to allow for hazard reduction work related to the Middle Fork Fire to resume. During this time, access to the park will be limited to the South Entrance.  You should check the latest conditions and road status before your visit to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Updates will be available on the park website at www.nps.gov/crla and on Oregon Tripcheck at www.tripcheck.com.
