Carbine Flat Spur A OHV road temporarily closed on San Bernardino National Forest

The U.S. Forest Service has temporarily closed Carbine Flat Spur A OHV Road (3N59A) on the San Bernardino National Forest, cutting off a route that many off-highway vehicle riders use to access public lands beyond the forest boundary[1].

The road runs 4.8 miles from its junction with Carbine Flat OHV Road (3N59) along the northern forest boundary before terminating at a Bureau of Land Management road[1]. From there, the route continues west across BLM land to Deep Creek Road in Hesperia — making 3N59A an important connector for riders accessing that corridor[1].

No reason for the closure or an expected reopening date was provided in the Forest Service notice. OHV riders who rely on this route for recreation or through-access should plan alternate paths in the meantime.

When the road does reopen, riders should note that California law requires all OHVs operating on forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land to have a current registration and a spark arrestor that is maintained and in effective working order[1].
