BEND, OR -- Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road are scheduled to close for the season on November 19th. Although, it could be sooner, if the weather worsens.

The Deschutes County Road Department maintains both roads, but when snow accumulations can exceed five to 10 feet, the department says plowing is cost prohibitive.

Typically, both roads reopen before Memorial Day Weekend.
