Some trails are closed in western North Carolina due to Hurricane Helene. But there are many other trails you can appreciate during this time in both recovering and less impacted areas.
Find open trails across The Great Trails State (greattrailsnc.com). And remember to always practice Outdoor NC’s Leave No Trace Principles.
For the most up to date information on what multi-use trails are open and clear in the Pisgah Ranger District, Pisgah Area SORBA has a running list, updated daily, on their website. Additionally, several sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway west of Asheville have reopened. You can find more information on the parkway and what’s open at greattrailsnc/us11.1.
Visit NC is one of the best places for information on where to visit and what is open.
Check their website for latest travel updates for the western part of the state.
