George Washington and Jefferson National Forests Fire Danger & Restrictions
Fire danger is currently low across the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. However, specific restrictions may apply, especially near the Appalachian Trail in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area where campfires are prohibited within a quarter mile. Always check the latest weather and specific regulations for your intended campground or district before heading out. Propane stoves are permitted in cleared areas, but ensure they are attended and shutoff-capable.
