Fire restrictions in effect through Sept. 2

Due to above-normal temperatures and windy dry conditions, Larimer County is under fire restrictions through September 2, 2025. Restrictions are for combustible devices, uncontained open fires, incendiary devices, and fireworks in unincorporated areas above 6,000 feet. In addition, smoking in the open is not allowed, including on trails, parks and open spaces.  Camping and cooking fires in contained firepits in developed camping areas are allowed.  For the complete ordinance, visit this link: larimer.gov/spotlights/2025/08/7/larimer-county-adopts-fire-restrictions 

Larimer County Department of Natural Resources' mission is to connect people, nature, and place.  Our vision for the future rests on the belief that healthy landscapes support healthy people.  Since 1954, Larimer County has acquired and conserved a vast network of public and private lands. The community's love of the outdoors has played a vital role in this growth. Today, Larimer County Natural Resources offers thirteen properties for recreational access and enjoyment and has conserved over 56,000 acres of land within its boundaries.  Learn more 'About Us'
