********************************************

Just a reminder that the Salem Church Trail at Burnt Hickory crossing is closed. This is apart of the multi trail project from Cobb D.O.T. The trail itself is not closed just at the crossing at Burnt Hickory. Work will begin shortly on the new trail reroute by my staff and the trail club. I expect this work to be complete in two months. Any further questions or concerns please tell them to contact me by email at carlos_hurston@nps.gov or office at ext. 235. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

On Monday, February 6 and Tuesday, February 7, 2023, Kennesaw Mountain Drive (the mountain road) will be closed.

The Wilderness Stewardship Division has partnered with Harpers Ferry Center and film students at American University to develop a webisode series called America's Wilderness. The collection of 3-5 minute webisodes take place in different wilderness parks across the country, featuring stories that capture an array of experiences shared between people and wilderness, from first time overnight camping trips to trail running and photography.
