Due to flood damage and landslides, the South Fork Road is closed in Sequoia National Park, as is the South Fork Campground. Hikers and day users are discouraged from exploring the area because of the hazards.
The bridge on South Fork Drive at Heidi Drive and the Baily Bridge on North Fork Drive at the post office have been re-opened for limited use. Please use this opportunity to either leave the area or gather additional supplies, such as food, water, medications, and fuel, as additional heavy precipitation is expected this weekend which may result in additional closure and/or damage to the bridges.
South Fork Bridge is impassible; crews are actively working at location.
