White Mountain National Forest

Campfire and fire-use rules for this area, with each localized order the land manager has published.

Campfires only in developed sites.

Developed sites

No forest-wide fire restriction is in the supplied text. A Forest Supervisor order restricts camping within 1/4 mile of Slippery Brook Road and East Branch Road (Town Hall Road) except at designated campsites, and restricts wood or charcoal fires within 1/4 mile except at designated sites. Portable pressurized liquid or gas camp stoves are allowed. Fire Danger Status is Low, which alone does not establish a forest-wide posture.
