Cache County has issued Ordinance No. 2026-46 regarding temporary seasonal road closures for several county roads. According to an October 15 statement, many of these closures are condition-dependent and are anticipated to occur between November 15 and December 1.
For roads subject to condition-dependent closures, officials expect reopenings on or before April 15, though the ordinance notes these are expectations rather than guaranteed safe-travel dates. These roads include 3200 West, which provides access from Old Canyon Road to Mount Pisgah Road, and Birch Canyon Lower. East Canyon Road/La Plata will be closed at the west end of Porcupine Dam. Gnehm Road (3400 North) will see a small middle portion of the loop closed with gates at both ends. Ivan's Hollow Road will be gated near High Creek Road, while Long Divide Road (8200 West) will be closed in both Cache and Box Elder Counties.
Other condition-dependent closures include Mount Pisgah Road/Squirrel Trail Road, which will be closed at the intersection of Paradise West Dr. and near US 89/91. The closure also involves a portion of 2400 West. Short Divide Road will be closed in both Cache and Box Elder Counties at approximately 9200 West and 9950 North. High Creek Canyon Road will be gated at the bottom near 12900 East, and Millville Canyon Road will be closed at the deer fence. Smithfield Dry Canyon Road will be closed at the bottom near the Smithfield City limits. Deep Canyon (1000 South) will be closed near 7200 West, Maple Bench (2200 South) will be closed at the intersection of 2200 South and 6400 West, and Three Mile Creek will be closed at the end of 600 North.
The ordinance also establishes default schedules for specific roads. South Canyon Road is scheduled to close on November 15, 2026, with a default opening on April 15, 2027. Ant Flat and Lake Town Road are both scheduled to close on December 1, 2026, with openings scheduled for May 15, 2027. Mineral Point Road is scheduled for closure on November 15, 2026, and is scheduled to reopen on August 10, 2027.
The scheduled closures for South Canyon Road, Ant Flat, and Lake Town Road affect various mountain roads. South Canyon Road impacts Three Mile Canyon, Davenport Road, Flint Grove, and Blue Bell Mine. Lake Town Road affects Peavine and Baxter Sawmill. Mineral Point Road, which runs across the Cinnamon Creek Wildlife Management Area, will be closed at the WMA parking area off Ant Flat and at the WMA's west edge.
