County.
Campfires
are allowed in developed fire pits in the designated campgrounds and in the
Pasayten and Lake Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness areas.
Campsite

flooding and debris flows. The remaining
11 campsites in Foggy Dew Campground are open.
There

the recent flooding. The South Summit
area, south of Highway 20, remains closed.
