LaRue Road and Forest Service Road No. 345 also known as “Snake Road” will be closed to vehicle traffic to allow these herps, some that are listed as threatened and endangered in the state and the country, to safely cross the road.
The road will remain open to people on foot, so if you are near the area, it would be an opportune time to see a lot of reptiles and amphibians in a single location, and especially on the 2.5 mile road.
The state’s forest service began closing the Snake Road in the early 1970s to let these reptiles and amphibians safely cross without the threat of vehicular road mortality. The road closed in the spring and the fall each year to enable the animals to migrate to and from their breeding grounds. In the spring, the road closes March 15 to May 15. In the fall, the road closes from September 1 to October 30.
