Roan Mountain Fire Restrictions

Fire restrictions are now in effect for the Roan Mountain area of Appalachian Ranger District due to heightened fire danger caused by Hurricane Helene. The fire restriction is in effect on all National Forest System land from Hughes Gap to Doll Flats on the Appalachian Trail.

This restriction includes all campfires, portable stoves, and all other forms of outdoor burning, with the exception for persons using a device solely for cooking devices fueled solely by LPG (liquid petroleum) fuel and can be turned on/off. Such devices can only be used in an area that is barren or cleared of all overhead and surrounding flammable materials within three feet of the device.
