The BLM, Sierra Front Field Office announces Red Canyon Road in Smith Valley, NV, off Upper Colony and Day Lane Road is washed out in several areas due to runoff caused by recent warmer temperatures.

“We are asking the public to please use caution or avoid this area until an assessment can be made,” said Paul Fuselier, Acting Sierra Front Field Manager.

Currently, Lyon County has placed road closed signs on the road leading to public access of Red Canyon.  Please abide by these signs located on the main roadways until conditions warrant removal of them. Other access roads and trails remain open unless otherwise signed.
