The rule here

This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. The Mt. Hood National Forest puts it this way:

“Temporarily closed due to wildfire activity.”

Worth knowing: The curator read this site as soakable. The independent audit re-fetched the Forest’s own site page on the checked-on date and found it carrying the closure line quoted here, so the record ships as the more restrictive class. If Mt. Hood National Forest lifts the closure the record should be re-reviewed — verify locally.
