BEND, OR -- An area of the Deschutes National Forest known as “Good Dog” will close for about two months, beginning Thursday.
Officials say the closure is necessary to protect visitors from large equipment used by contractors conducting a thinning a mowing operation on 131 acres off of Cascade Lakes Highway, west of Bend.
The "Good Dog" area will be closed from 4 a.m. Monday through 5 p.m. Fridays until the project is completed. It will be open to the public on weekends.
