Hi Everyone – Yesterday the fire restrictions were extended to the Uwharrie National Forest. We wanted to get the word out to people that might be planning to recreate here to let them know what to expect. Can you help spread the word to your contacts. Let them know that if they have gas grills, Coleman or propane stoves, propane or kerosene heaters, and electric heaters for sites that have electric hookups that those items can be used. We are not allowing any charcoal or wood fires due to the dangers the hot embers pose if they blow in the wind or if they are dumped out onto the ground with all of the litter and duff. We have had several fires just this week on the Uwharrie NF due to human carelessness.


Thank you for spreading the word. We appreciate your help. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Bye - Terry

I hope this is up in 5 foot letters at the entrances to the trail. To many people up there don't know there in the world.
 
Does anyone know if the fire restrictions are still in place? thanks
 
Hoping they get enough rain in the next week to lift the ban. We'll be there next weekend and forecast is in the low 20s. Gonna be pretty miserable without fire.
