Current Status of Parks & Trails 12/20/24
The Napa Open Space District main offices will be closed for winter recess during the holidays from 12/24/24-1/1/25. Staff will return to the office on January 2nd. Parks and trails remain open for use, with any closures listed below. If you have questions about camping reservations or park activities at Bothe-Napa Valley State Park, please contact park staff directly at StateParks@ncrposd.org/(707)942-4575.
All parks not listed below are currently open for normal use.
RLS State Park: Parking on the Table Rock side (east side) of the highway is closed temporarily but the Table Rock Trail remains open. Please avoid parking on that side while Caltrans crews continue repairs from recent storm damage. Limited parking is available on the Mt St Helena side (west) of the highway.
Berryessa Peak Trail – There is a landslide approximately 4 miles into the trail that has partially blocked access to the remaining 2 miles. The trail is passable with some scrambling through the damaged section, but does require sure footing. We hope to have repairs made on this trail soon, but rugged terrain and weather may make this a challenging repair.
Golden Mussel Advisories Affecting Boating in Napa County
Golden Mussels have recently been discovered in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the first known occurrence of this invasive species in North America. This type of mussel can survive in waters that have considerably lower calcium levels than needed for the other invasive species and are incredibly difficult to eradicate once established. They are also easily transported on boats or watercraft, so local agencies are implementing safeguards to hopefully keep them out of our lakes.
The Bureau of Reclamation has formalized protocols for launching at Lake Berryessa with an inspection/seal program that has a 30 day quarantine. See BOR’s notice for details: https://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/news-release/5031
The City of Napa has closed the boat launch at Lake Hennessey until further notice and no boats are allowed on the lake. See the City of Napa notice here: https://www.cityofnapa.org/580/Lake-Hennessey-Boating-Fishing
