WATERSPORTS --  The Enterprise Boat-in Campground has been re-opened as the Enterprise fire has been controlled on Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.

The popular campground for boaters southwest of Hunters is open on a first-come, first-served basis.

"For your safety, we request that you stay out of the burned area and at least 100 yards from the burned area even on the water," National Park Service officials say in a media release.

The Enterprise Fire will continue to produce smoke as scattered pockets of brush, stumps, and downed logs continue to smolder and burn. This is normal and will decrease over time. If you see brush and or trees fully engulfed by active flame within the burned area, please don’t hesitate to call the NE Interagency Dispatch Center at 509-685-6900.
