Road Department plans seasonal closures for Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road

The Deschutes County Road Department plans to close Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road (Forest Service Road 21) for the winter on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Cascade Lakes Highway will close west of Mount Bachelor between the snow gates at Dutchman Flat and Deschutes Bridge at the intersection with Forest Service Road 4270. Paulina Lake Road will be closed where the 10-mile snow park gate is located, which will restrict access to Paulina and East Lake.

Both roads are usually reopened by Memorial Day, depending on the weather.
