Will Rogers State Historic Park Reopens Saturday With Limited Trail Access

Officials forecast a years-long rebuild following extensive debris work.

Overview

  • Ten months after the Palisades Fire, the park will welcome visitors starting Saturday and will be open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset.
  • About half of the park’s nine miles of trails will be accessible, with 4.2 miles reopening and 4.8 miles remaining closed during repairs.
  • The Backbone Trail and Rivas Canyon Trail stay closed, and the loop to Inspiration Point will be only partially open with intermittent closures.
  • The polo field and main lawn are returning to use, with youth soccer and lacrosse set to resume matches and the polo field available for the new season in April.
  • The fire destroyed the ranch house, stables, and roughly 30 other structures across nearly the entire park, while a Corps of Engineers site processed debris from more than 4,400 lots and over 10,000 felled trees.
