While the Limberlost Trail is a gentle, accessible hike, it does cross over several other trails to be wary of. Some trails, like the Old Rag Fire Road, are not typically used for hiking at all, but instead provide access routes for Park personnel to reach areas such as backcountry cabins or other remote areas of the Park in the event of an emergency. The Old Rag Fire Road is primarily used when emergency response staff from the mountain need to get to Old Rag Mountain quickly to assist in Search & Rescue operations or fires.

However, this trail is still available to hikers and horseback riders. Visitors taking fire roads should always be aware that in the event of an emergency, vehicles could be using these routes as well.
