Rocky Mount Wild Fire

In April, 2016, a wild fire that began in Rockingham County adjacent to the SNP South District ultimately burned more than 2,000 acres of the Park, coming very close to the Loft Mountain Wayside. PATCers were not involved in fighting the fire but were heavily engaged in clearing resulting damage on the Appalachian Trail across Rocky Mount and down the Brown Mountain trail.
