Fw: FYI : [SCPRO Leaders] Trailhead Parking Warning At Shenandoah National Park

[Josh Silverman]

See the message below.  The parking area at the end of Thompson Hollow Road is no longer available and cars that park there will be towed.  This means that the Overall Run hike as we have done it in the past is not possible now.  We can still get to the falls, but we will have to use other routes.

This was sent out to local sierra club leaders  

Not sure if any of you use this trailhead.  I think this is the access to overall run 

Thanks!

Good afternoon everyone,

Sierra Club PRO Leader Dave Torraca just sent me a message about the closing of trailhead parking for the Thompson Hollow Trail in Shenandoah National Park. Located near the town of Bentonville in Warren County off of U.S. Route 340 in the Shenandoah Valley, parking at the end of Thompson Hollow Road was always allowed in order to hike into Shenandoah National Park. This is no longer the case. Warren County has now banned trailhead parking, and failed to post the proper signs advertising the change. Dave and his hiking friends discovered the parking change the hard way when they found their cars had been towed after returning from their hike. With the help of the local sheriff they were able to retrieve their cars but only at a high cost. Its expected that clearly marked signs will eventually be posted to inform the public that parking is now illegal at the end of Thompson Hollow Road.

Yes! A friend I sent out there to do that hike from the bottom got towed. $260!! I think you can park in Heiskell Hollow, but it’s been a while since I have. Unfortunately there are many humans that do not know how to be respectful of private property and we all lose the privilege. 

Happy Hiking.. Melanie~
