Shame if true, though sometimes ive called forestry numbers on gates for access permission, they obliged (yay) on quiet days with no trucks. Other times with some companies they close those gates permanently to recreational users of the forest.
If I end up checking that area out I will report back with the status. Depends on if I get a spot in one of the restricted areas.
