Lake Forest Beaches, including Skylandia and Bristlecone, will be closed after 4 p.m. tonight.

The closures are due to large groups of teens, many from outside the area, gathering at the beaches. The crowds have led to underage drinking, widespread littering, and significant traffic impacts in surrounding neighborhoods. Over the past two nights, deputies have spent several hours clearing the area and managing the crowds

Please do not come to the area tonight. The beaches will be closed, and anyone attempting to access them will be turned away.
