BETHEL COMMUNITY FOREST UPDATE: It’s that time of year again – Locke Mountain Road/summer parking lot is closed as of December 2, 2025. There is absolutely NO parking in front of the gate or along Daisy Bryant Road. Doing so will result in your vehicle getting towed. The plowed, winter parking for the Bethel Community Forest is at 305 North Road just past Coleman Concrete. This is a multi-use trailhead with parking for snowmobile access, backcountry skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing. Access to Bethel Community Forest West/Parks-Bennett will remain open and plowed throughout the winter. Thank you for your cooperation!
NOTE: The Community Access Trail (CATS) trailhead at Vernon Street is closed indefinitely. CATS can be accessed at the Pine Ridge Road parking lot.
