Angeles National Forest Campgrounds Most campgrounds on the Angeles National Forest are first come, first served. However, some are managed by concessionaires who do take reservations. The National Forest Adventure Pass or Interagency passes are not required if you visit a fee campground and remain in that area; they are required if you leave that campground and recreate elsewhere on the forest. Campfire permits are not required at campgrounds where you have paid a fee, but trail camps and dispersed camping do require a current California Campfire Permit for your portable stove use. Each campsite is for a maximum of 8 people; there may be an extra charge for additional vehicles. Fire Restrictions are subject to change during the year, contact our General Forest Information line at (626) 5745200 or access www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles for the latest updates. You may camp 14 days at any one site on the district or for up to 30 days in the forest. Special Notes: Contact the local Forest Service District Office for current updates on the campground you wish to visit. Also, fees are subject to change. Please call your district office or access www.recreation.gov to confirm current pricing. Please help protect the forest by checking with your local Forest Service Office for current Fire Restrictions. Stream and lake water on the forest is not recommended for drinking. However, if you find it necessary, boil all stream or lake water for at least five minutes. Portable filtration units (0.2 microns) may be used. Always bring your own drinking water, even to the campgrounds that state they provide piped water. There is no guarantee that water will be available at the campgrounds. Severe drought or extremely low water levels may cause the water systems to cease working. ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST Supervisor's Office 701 N.

  • Wait! Aren't We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains?
    Wait! Aren’t We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains? A very strange and mysterious thing happened on Friday, October 10, 2014, when President Obama announced the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Suddenly a gaping hole was cut into the Angeles National Forest, and areas like the Arroyo Seco, Tujunga, and the mountain watershed of the Los Angeles River were excised from the map delineating the new national monu- ment. Until the final announcement, the Arroyo Seco and the other stretches of the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains in the southwest corner of the Angeles National Forest all the way from Azusa to Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley were included in the advance maps and description of the monument. This is the portion of the Angeles National Forest that is closest to dense urban popula- tions and is heavily-used. It has also been the site just five years ago of the worst fire in Los Angeles County history, compounded by a major flood the next year. For this area, long-neglected by the US Forest Service, the map of the Map published in San Gabriel Valley newspapers prior to San Gabriel Mountains National dedication ceremony Monument certainly does not represent the “geography of hope” that President Obama promised on Friday. On Thursday, October 9, just the day before the presidential an- nouncement, this is the map that was published in San Gabriel Val- ley newspapers. But the official map that was re- leased on Friday is found on the next page. The strange shape of the territory of the national monument be- comes all the more bewildering Official Boundaries of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and egregious when a viewer reviews the map of the Station Fire in 2009, the largest fire in the his- tory of Southern California.

  • Executive Summary the Ranch Fire Started October 20, 2007 Near
    USDA­FOREST SERVICE FS­2500­8 (6/06) Date of Report: 11/05/07 BURNED­AREA REPORT (Reference FSH 2509.13) Executive Summary The Ranch Fire started October 20, 2007 near Townsend Peak, southwest of Templin Highway and Interstate 5 on the Angeles National Forest. Intense Santa Ana winds peaking above 100 mph on the ridge tops drove the fire southwest across 13000 acres of the Angeles National Forest then onto the Los Padres National Forest and private lands in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties burning 58,401 acres total. Most of total acreage burned during the first 48 hours after ignition. The fire reached its final boundary on October 26, and was fully contained on November 3. Because of the speed of this fire suppression impacts on National Forest land were limited to two miles of dozer line on the Angeles N.F., and some hand line and water/retardant drops along the west side of the fire on the Los Padres N. F. Approximately 14,000 acres burned on the Los Padres National Forest, 13,000 acres burned on the Angeles National Forest, 1900 acres on the Hopper Mountain Wildlife Refuge, 1400 acres on BLM land, and 28,000 on private land near Val Verde and Hasley Canyon. The Los Padres manages 8000 acres of the Angeles National Forest within the burn perimeter and east of Piru Creek. Fifth­field watersheds within the Ranch Fire area used for BAER analysis include: Castaic, Sespe Creek, middle Santa Clara River and lower Piru Creek. The BAER team leader was assigned on October 23 and assembled a team which finalized field work for soils and hydrology by October 30 with other field work finalized on November 1.

  • Don Porter Oral History Transcript
    PORTER, Don FS 1953? - 1978 01-19-05 03__Corrected 2 U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region Five History Project Interview with: Don Porter Interviewed by: Gerald Gause Location: Dana Point, California Date: January 19, 2005 Transcribed by: Christine Sinnott; February 2005 Corrected by: Linda Nunes WRITTEN INSERT: I was born and raised in Southern California in the Glendale-La Canada area. La Canada is in the foothills and on the edge of the Angeles National Forest, and between Pasadena and Glendale. In my youth with friends and Boy Scouts [I] camped and hiked over many trails. Went fishing for many, many years in the Inyo National Forest in the Eastern High Sierra. The local mountains and the High Sierra were my early education to the Forest Service and its National Forests. DON PORTER: I graduated from Glendale High School in 1944 and attended Glendale College and then attended the University of Montana Forestry School in 1946 and 1947. In 1942, I was fifteen years of age and worked in a fishing resort that my father and I used to go to up at Bishop Creek on the Inyo National Forest. Kind of got my introduction to resource and so forth at that time. In 1943, the next year, I’m sixteen years old and started my career – not my career but my summer career – with the Forest Service on the Eldorado National Forest on the blister rust control (BRC) program during the summer. We were all teenaged high school students and spent our summers digging up Gooseberry bushes.
