Cottonwood Canyon - only Cottonwood sites 3-10 and Marble sites 1-4 are open for permitted camping.
Greenwater Valley (aka Furnace Creek Wash Road) - access to Deadman Pass and Gold Valley. Use extreme caution on Gold Valley Road, which has not been repaired since it was damaged by flooding 8/23. There is a section which could tip over a stock 4x4 high clearance vehicle.
Saline Valley - only to Palm Springs. South Pass and Steel Pass remain closed.
Warm Springs / Butte Valley / Goler Wash
Harry Wade Road -caution advised due to deep sand and limited areas to pass oncoming vehicles in a narrow lane between tall sand berms
Big Pine Road - only to Eureka Dunes. (No access to: Dedeckera Canyon, Big Pine Road east of Eureka Valley).
Racetrack Road
Lippincott Road
Hidden Valley Road, including White Top Mountain Road and Lost Burro Mine Road

CLOSED
Westside Road - as of 10/7/2023, NPS crews cannot get through the north end of the road due to a 4-foot drop-off into a muddy trench 10-feet wide and filled with a foot of water. No estimate reopening date
Upper Wildrose Road - (above the Charcoal Kilns) - No access due to extensive damage on Emigrant Canyon Road and Lower Wildrose
Lower Wildrose Road - (aka Trona - Wildrose Road, connects Wildrose to Panamint Valley)- completely impassable due to a 9-foot deep cut across the road. Likely to remain closed until fall 2025.
Saline Valley Road South Pass - Signed closed by Inyo County.
Hunter Mountain - Signed closed by Inyo County
Salt Creek Road - Closed. Will not open before fall 2024. Flooding destroyed the boardwalk, toilet and parking area.
Salt Creek - Closed. Will not open before fall 2024
Titus Canyon Road - closed due to flood damage- this includes bicycles. Impassable. Not likely to open before January 2025.
Steel Pass - closed due to extensive flood damage. From an airplane, it appears the road is completely erased from Eureka Dunes through Dedeckera Canyon. Steel Pass itself looks okay. From Steel Pass to Upper Warm Springs, there's no sign of a road at all. Designated wilderness begins 50 feet on either side of the legal road (which is erased). Anyone trying to drive that would likely be illegally driving in wilderness. The park hopes to be able to work on this road in winter 2023/2024.
Lemoigne Canyon Road - closed due to flood damage. No estimated timeline for reopening
