Earlier this week Yellowstone National Park announced the reopening of Slough Creek to overnight backcountry use on July 13. Approximately 93% of paved roads and 88% of Yellowstone’s backcountry are now open.
Located in the northern portion of the park, Slough Creek is one of the park’s most visited backcountry areas. In addition, bicycles will be allowed to enter the North and Northeast Entrance roads for a limited distance. The park closed immediately following a historic flood event in June and has rapidly reopened areas when safe to do so.
* Currently 88% of Yellowstone’s backcountry is open to overnight and day-use.
* Currently 88% of the 1,000 miles of park trails are open with 12% closed due to historic flooding. The majority of closed trails are in the northern portion of the park.
* Currently 88% of the 293 backcountry campsites in the park are open with 12% closed due to limited access, flood impacts and high water.
