Parish wide burn bans in effect restricting outdoor burning at Fontainebleau State Park. In most cases, the burn-ban order prohibits outdoor burning, including campfires. While outdoor cooking is permitted only within contained equipment designed for that purpose, such as gas grills or approved charcoal grills with a cover. All cooking must be conducted with a water source or fire extinguisher immediately available. For a full list of parish burn bans, Visit Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry's website to view their Burn Ban Map.
