The Twin Lakes access site will be closed to all public use on July 12 and 13. This site is located in the channel between Upper and Lower Twin lakes on West Twin Lakes Road.
Spirit Lake access site will be closed at dusk on July 12 and remain closed through July 15. This site is located on Spirit Lake Road one mile southwest of the town of Spirit Lake.
Fish and Game will be seal coating and re-striping the asphalt parking lots at these sites. These are routine maintenance activities that are necessary to extend the life of the asphalt parking lots. The work will be performed by a private contractor. We recognize that this is a busy time of year at these sites and thank site users in advance for their patience while we complete this work.
