Overview

The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is the largest National Forest in the lower 48 states at 6.3 million acres, spanning most of Nevada and portions of eastern California. The forest is currently open and fully accessible for winter recreation, with the Bridgeport Winter Recreation Area recently opened for snowmobiling as of December 25, 2025. There are no active fire restrictions forest-wide at this time, though year-round campfire prohibitions exist within one mile of homes in certain Spring Mountains canyons. Notable active closures include the Mahogany Fire Rehabilitation Area (closed until September 30, 2025) and an over-snow vehicle closure on the Carson Ranger District effective December 17, 2025. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area has reopened some areas that were previously closed due to Tropical Storm Hilary damage. Christmas tree cutting permits are available through December 25, 2025 on several ranger districts. The forest manages seven ranger districts across Nevada and California with offices in Sparks, Austin, Carson City, Elko, Ely, Las Vegas, Tonopah, Wells, Winnemucca, and Bridgeport. Winter visitors should be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, avalanche risks in backcountry areas, and snow/ice on roads at higher elevations.
