PARK CLOSURE

Cadillac Summit Road Closed for Construction

The Cadillac Summit Road is closed through May 19 for all uses, including pedestrians and cyclists, from the Park Loop Road to just prior to a parking lot at the summit. Hiking trails to Cadillac Summit remain open. Construction crews with heavy equipment are building a pedestrian walkway to connect the two parking areas at the summit of Cadillac Mountain.

PARK CLOSURE

Park Loop Road to Kebo Street Closed for Construction

A section of the Park Loop Road, from the start of one-way traffic to Kebo Street, is closed by construction to all uses effective April 6-14. Since most of the Park Loop Road is already closed to private vehicles for the off season through April 14, this closure further restricts recreational uses, such as walking and cycling.

PARK CLOSURE

Carriage Roads closed to all use

Starting March 19, the National Park Service will close carriage roads to all users until further notice to protect the roads during spring thaw, also known as “mud season.”

PARK CLOSURE
