ATTENTION! The Campground at Colonel Denning State Park will remain OPEN this Fall of 2026.

The planned bridge construction has been rescheduled for Fall of 2027. Our campground will be open as usual this year until the end of the season in December.

At the Forest Service, we practice active forest management.

This is forest maintenance that keeps forests open, healthy and productive.

This work includes:
- Mechanical treatments to thin overstocked forests
- Timber sales to deliver wood to market
- Reforestation to grow strong, healthy forests
- Prescribed fires (good fire) to clean the forest floor and mimic natural cycles
