Blue Ridge Parkway Reopens With Key Updates

The Blue Ridge Parkway is officially open for the season—campgrounds, picnic spots, and visitor centers are back online for Memorial Day weekend. But before you hit the road, know this: a recent court ruling means stick to designated parking areas only. Plus, construction is underway near milepost 132 in the Shenandoah Valley, which may impact travel. And don’t forget—fire safety is critical; use fires responsibly and only for approved durations. For up-to-date info on closures, maps, and hours, check the VDOT Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway and official parkway websites before you go.
