The Flathead National Forest has also closed its developed campgrounds and rental cabins due to the CODID-19 outbreak.
A full list of developed campgrounds can also be found on the Forest’s website. Many of the Forests’s campgrounds are inaccessible due to snow this time of year.
The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest made a similar announcement yesterday.
Trails and undeveloped areas remain open.
Notifications to cabin renters will be made as soon as possible and refunds will be processed, The Forest said in a release.
Rental cabin visitors are encouraged to contact their ranger district office with additional questions.
