DUE TO RECENT RAINS AND FAVORABLE WEATHER FORECASTS…..MAMMOTH CAVE NATIONAL PARK HAS LIFTED THE BURN RESTRICITON THAT WAS PLACED ON
ALL OPEN FIRES WITHIN THE PARK…..
THE RESTRICTION APPLIED TO THE USE OF CAMPFIRES IN THE PARK’S THREE FRONT COUNTRY CAMPGROUNDS, ALL BACK-COUNTRY CAMPSITES AND PICNIC
AREAS……VISITORS ARE NOW PERMITTED TO USE THE FIRE PITS AND GRILLS WITHIN THOSE AREAS….
VISITORS ARE REMNDED TO ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN BUILDING AND ENJOYING A CAMPFIRE…..FIRES SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED AND A SOURCE
OF WATER OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER SHOULD BE CLOSE AT HAND……FIRES SHOULD BE COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH SO THAT COALS ARE NO LONDER HOT TO THE
TOUCH ONCE THE FIRE IS NO LONGER BEING USED……
