Trail Updates

04/13/2026

Due to high fire danger and dry conditions, Shenandoah National Park has issued a parkwide fire ban which prohibits all open-air fires. Only gas and or propane stoves are permitted at this time. The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) runs through the park from just past Rockfish Gap to just south of Tom Floyd Wayside (NOBO miles 865.9 to 969.3).

Hikers should not have a campfire in the park and be extremely careful with camp stoves. ATC recommends not having a fire anywhere along the A.T. right now from Georgia through Pennsylvania due to high fire danger.
