Forest Service Issues Safety Advisory for Dry Canyon in Ventura County, 
Site of WWII-Era Artillery Range

Los Padres National Forest officials are posting a safety advisory in 
the Dry Canyon area of northern Ventura County warning the public about 
the possible presence of unexploded military ordnance. Located north of 
Lockwood Valley Road and east of Highway 33, Dry Canyon was the site of 
a World War II era artillery training range. A recent examination by an 
Army contractor, as part of a nationwide survey of Formerly Used Defense 
Sites, observed fragments of exploded ordnance.

Canyon does not warrant closing the area to public entry, but he wants 
forest visitors to be aware and exercise caution.
