Road and Facility Closures

Road Closures and Maintenance

Weather conditions may cause temporary road closures along the parkway. Much of the parkway is located at high elevation, where the climate is colder and wetter than in the surrounding communities in the foothills. Please be aware that the parkway may be closed due to snow or ice, even at times when the weather at lower elevations is sunny and pleasant. Please check The Blue Ridge Parkway Road Closure Map (https://go.nps.gov/brp-map) for real-time road current closure/condition information

 

Trail Closures

• Dobie Mountain Trail at Humpback Rocks in VA (Milepost 6) is closed.
• The Boone Fork foot bridge located at the Boone Fork Overlook, near Milepost 300, is closed until further notice due to storm damage. The overlook and parking lot will remain open for visitors to park and hike north on the Tanawha trail. All trails leading south in the immediate area are inaccessible from the overlook. Several trails leading into Grandfather Mt State Park from the overlook, also remain closed due to storm damage (including the Nuwati and Cragway trails). Contact Grandfather Mt State Park for updated trail conditions and closures within the State Park.
