NORTHEAST OREGON – The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced that Manulife (formerly Hancock) properties in Northeast Oregon have officially reopened to camping as of Tuesday, September 17. The reopening follows a decrease to moderate fire restrictions, though keep in mind that all campfires are still prohibited on Manulife lands. ODFW offered additional information in a recent release:
“Manulife lands in northeast Oregon (including within the Shamrock, Whiskey Cr, Noregaard, Little Catherine Cr, Meacham travel management areas) had closed in mid-July due to extreme fire danger and reopened to day use only in late August.
Hunters and others are reminded that motorized vehicles are only allowed on designated roads outside of TMAs.
For other information on recreation on Manulife lands in northeast Oregon call their hotline at (541) 962-2184.”
