Air Quality Alert issued July 17 at 12:08PM PDT by NWS Medford OR

Wildfires burning in the region combined with forecast conditions will cause air quality levels to fluctuate and could be at unhealthy levels. Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on the weather. People at risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung disease, older adults and pregnant people. People can take the following precautions to protect their health: * Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. * Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality. * People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke levels are high. * Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in indoor heating, ventilation, cooling and air purification systems. * Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke if possible.

About
Beaver Dam Group Campground offers a secluded camping experience along Beaver Dam Creek in the High Cascades area of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Located 22 miles east of Ashland via Dead Indian Memorial Highway, this semi-primitive group site sits within an old growth forest and accommodates up to 40 people across 4 campsites. The campground provides access to Beaver Dam Trail #1001, which explores both riparian habitat and old growth forest ecosystems. Nearby recreation includes the Pacific Crest Trail, Brown Mountain Trail, and Fish Lake Trail for hiking, while road cyclists can loop Forest Road 37 and Dead Indian Memorial Highway. Howard Prairie Lake is 10 miles away, offering boating, fishing, and swimming. The Howard Prairie Resort has a store, restaurant, and boat ramp. Bears frequent the area, so campers should maintain clean camps and store food in closed containers. Firewood should be obtained locally to prevent invasive species spread.
Directions
From Ashland, OR, follow Dead Indian Memorial Highway 22 miles east and turn north (left) onto Forest Road 37. Continue 1 mile to the campground.
