Big South Fork NRRA Announces Backcountry Fire Restrictions
March 4, 2025 · Source: National Park Service
Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area officials announced a temporary ban on campfires in the park’s backcountry effective immediately. Due to dry weather conditions and the amount of fresh leaf litter on the ground, the potential for escaped fires to occur in the backcountry has greatly increased. The fire restriction will be in effect until further notice.
