Here's the latest information for Mt. Hood National Forest Cabin owners concerning our recent wind and rain storm:

Summer Recreation Residences

January 12- 13 Storm Damage Alert

Due to the wind and rainstorm, there are many downed trees and downed power lines in the recreation residence tract.  PGE and forest employees are working on clearing roads, prioritizing those who are trapped behind storm debris. This work will take several days.  In the meantime: 

  • Please postpone a visit to cabins.  There are many safety hazards in the area, including downed power lines.
  • First responders and work crews are out working and making progress- it is very important to not impede their work or block roads. 
  • Road 12 (Still Creek Rd.) is blocked and requires heavy equipment to remove a giant downed tree.
  • The Zigzag Ranger District and many of its employees are without internet, phones, and/or power.  
  • As staff gets safe road access they will assess recreation residences for damage and notify owners of discovered damage.
