California State Parks closed Castle Crags State Park due to the Delta and Hirz fires in Shasta County. Although the park is currently not on fire, fire conditions are rapidly changing due to the alternating wind patterns. Out of abundance of caution, State Parks evacuated staff and visitors and the park will remain closed until further notice. 

California State Parks advises outdoor enthusiasts to plan carefully their next outdoor adventure in areas near wildfires. Some parks are closed, while others around the north Sacramento Valley and Sierra north of Calaveras County are impacted by smoke. Visitors with health issues or smoke sensitivity may want to reconsider visiting parks until the air quality improves. To ensure safety, the public is prohibited from entering closed areas.

California State Parks announced the closure of two additional state parks today due to wildfires in Northern California. Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park (Trinity County) and Clear Lake State Park (Lake County) are both closed until further notice. The public is advised to avoid these areas.
