Lake County has been dealing with road damage due to snowstorms in late February and early March. Elk Mountain Road in Upper Lake has been closed long-term as a result. The Mendocino National Forest say that the road was severely impacted by the storms, leaving only one access point to Lake Pillsbury from Potter Valley. Public Works crews have been working to open access from the Potter Valley side to Soda Creek Store, and they were able to clear a path from the Lake County line on the Potter Valley side.
