As the busy recreation season begins, the Bureau of Land Management reminds visitors that Teaters Road remains open for public access.
While the gates may be closed for short periods of time, they will remain unlocked, and visitors may pass through the gates to use the road. Visitors should leave all gates in the same state they are found, open or closed, when passing through.
Teaters Road provides a direct connection between Highway 380 north to the BLM North Fork Crooked River area and the Ochoco National Forest, both popular destinations for recreation and important areas for timber production. It also serves as the only public access point to a 160-acre “island” parcel of BLM- administered public land along Teater’s Road.
The BLM encourages all visitors to be respectful when traveling on Teaters Road to access public lands. Much of the road runs through private land, so visitors are reminded to drive slowly and watch for livestock.
