Starting September 2, 2011, at 12:01 a.m, the State Department of Natural Resources will prohibit campfires in all DNR-managed campgrounds in Okanogan County:

Leader Lake
Sportsman Campground at Sweat Creek
Rock Creek Shelter
Rock Lake - Okanogan County
Palmer Lake
Chopaka Lake

Motorists should also exercise caution when driving on forest roads by avoiding dry grass and vegetation; hot exhaust systems can easily ignite dry grasses. Recreationists are encouraged to have a shovel, water, and a fire extinguisher available.
