Seasonal Bald Eagle Closure: During certain breeding stages (courtship, mating, incubation, young nestlings and nestlings near fledging), human activity near a Bald Eagle nest can cause nest abandonment and/or failure. Established breeding area closures reduce loss by managing human activities near nest sites.

NOTE: The Bald Eagle Closure is in effect from December 15 - June 15*. Please do not access the lower arm of the Agua Fria via watercraft. If all goes well, we will have eaglets this spring!

*The FY12-13 Eagle Closure begins on Saturday, December 15, 2012 and expires on June 15, 2013. During this period, you may NOT use the waterways to access the main channel leading to the northern arm of the lake.
