Roman Nose Hiking Trail and Lake Closure

Boecher Lake Dam at Roman Nose State Park has a leak causing the dam to erode and the lake to drain. The State Parks has closed the dam at Two Lakes Campground. The only route to hike the trails is from the lodge. There will be no more water activities on Boecher Lake.

Due to safety concerns and ongoing deterioration of the affected area, a portion of the Roman Nose Hiking Trail near the General Store trail head will be closed until further notice. Access to and from the Trail and General Store / Two Lakes camping area is closed.

A Portion of the trail along the south west side of Boecher Lake is also closed until further notice. The SW closure does not deny access to the rest of the trails available within the park.

Please plan accordingly when visiting our trails and take every precaution to avoid the areas as they are very dangerous and unstable.

Park staff is happy to help with planning your hike to avoid these closures and maps are available at the Lodge front desk as well as the General Store.
