Prescott National Forest officials say starting May 10-th-through the 24-th, public access to portions of the Verde River will be closed to allow for Feral Cattle Removal. River access from Beasley Flat to the confluence with Fossil Creek will be closed; the public will not be able to launch, take out, float through or camp along this section of the river. Child Recreation Site and Verde Hot Springs will also be closed to the public. Officials say a contractor will be capturing and removing unauthorized and/or feral cattle from portions of the Verde Rover on the Tonto, Coconino and Prescott National Forests.
