Open fires are prohibited throughout the park from midnight to 4 p.m. through April 30 per the 4 p.m. Burning Law. This includes wood and charcoal. Gas is permissible. Campground fires are allowed during the restricted time if a camp host is on duty and signage to that effect is posted in the campground. Failure to observe the 4 p.m. Burning Law can result in a fine. Contact the Park Office for additional information.

My title is volunteer blogger. When I’m not writing about my visits to state parks, I’m a stay at home mom of a toddler, a dog, and a cat.

I grew up in the Roanoke Valley where I fell in love with the outdoors. After my high school graduation, I lived in a handful of places like Gainesville, FL, Nashville, and the mountains outside of Denver. Eventually, I returned to Virginia, finished school, got married, and started a family.

I rediscovered the outdoors when my daughter was born almost four months early. After she came home from the NICU, the outdoors became our retreat. We started Trail Quest when she was only a few months old and I pushed her in a jogging stroller along trails. Now, thirty months later, we are two parks short of finishing our Trail Quest.
