​-----------------------------

  • The Long Cane Ranger District has cleared two parking lots and two trail heads. In addition, they have completed 90% of the district's bridge assessments. They began clearing the Forks Area Trail (FATS) and it will take sometime before the downed trees are cut out in order to ride. We will keep you posted when the trail is ready to access.
  • The Enoree Ranger District has cut open roads and some closed roads needed for contractors to access. The OHV trail is now open. They have cut open 25-percent of district trails, which is revealing damged board walks and bridges.
  • Long Cane Ranger District opens three hunt camps, a rifle range, two recreation sites, plus Lick Fork Lake and Parsons Mountain Recreation areas.

We appreciate your patience during this recovery period and ask that you refrain from recreational activities until the Temporary Forest Closure Order is lifted, please check out our Hurricane Helene FAQs. For more information on hurricane safety, visit Ready.gov.
