Carvins Cove Trails to Re-Open
Extensive trail work is ongoing at Carvins Cove Natural Reserve.

Representatives from the Virginia Department of Forestry have also performed mitigation work on select trails and the Brushy Mountain Fire
Road. With that said, the trails at Carvins Cove are now open to the public with the following exceptions:
Happy Valley Fire Road (from Schoolhouse to the Boat Dock parking lot), Trough, Gauntlet, Araminta, Kerncliff (from Hemlock Tunnel to Araminta), Sawmill Branch
Work on these trails will continue over the next few weeks. Patrons are reminded to always take proper precautions when using the Carvins Cove trails. Those interested in assisting with the volunteer effort should visit www.vast-network.org
