Closures & hazards
Current national park closures
Every closure and hazard notice the National Park Service has posted right now, across 117 sites, newest first. A partial closure covers part of a park, like a road, trail or campground. A significant closure is one that leaves so little open that a visit isn't worth it right now. A full closure means NPS says the whole site is closed.
Open (363) no closure notices from NPS · Partial closures (106) some things are closed, like a road, trail or building, but most of the site is open · Significant closures (2) so much is closed that most visits aren't worth it right now · Closed (4) NPS says the whole site is closed
