Wildlife Area Closure Alerts

It is common for wildlife areas to close periodically due to safety concerns caused by flooding. Areas that most commonly experience flood closures are: Sutter National Wildlife Refuge, Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, Delevan National Wildlife Refuge, Colusa National Wildlife Refuge, and the Little Dry Creek and Howard Slough Units of the Upper Butte Basin Wildlife Area. Reservations for State-operated wildlife areas that are closed due to flooding will not be accepted at other hunting areas. Refunds will not be issued for reservation applications submitted to areas that are closed or if reservations are unavailable. Check the following link or the Twitter tag -- #cawildlifeareaclosures -- for updates on State-operated wildlife area closures.
