The parking area adjacent to the Banks-Lowman Highway near mile post 4, the trail from the parking area to the Skinny Dipper Hot Springs, and all areas within 1,000 feet of the Skinny Dipper Hot Springs are being closed from sunset to sunrise each day. These public lands are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and are located within Lot 3; Section 25, T. 9 N., R.3 E., Boise Meridian, Boise County, Idaho. The emergency closure is intended to provide for public safety. Currently, the public's safety is at high risk. Law enforcement officers of Federal, State and County governments, while on official business of that agency, are exempt from this order. Exceptions to this closure may include vehicle use for administrative and emergency purposes. Under special circumstances, the authorized officer may issue a special permit allowing access into the area for specific purposes. The closure will go into effect on July 1, 2004 and will expire on May 24, 2009.
