The U.S. Forest Service is planning to conduct a prescribed burn on Max Patch this spring. The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) on Max Patch may be temporarily closed during the burn (NOBO mile 255.4).
Prescribed burns are weather-dependent and advanced notice of a burn is not always possible. Visitors and hikers should always respect closures and follow all instructions from fire crews and posted signs. To learn more about the benefits of prescribed burns, visit the Forest Service’s website.
