🌳 Virginia Creeper Trail Tree Work (Abingdon–Damascus Section) 🌳
Over the winter months, crews will be removing select trees along the section of the Virginia Creeper Trail between Abingdon and Damascus. Many of these trees are ash trees that have died due to the emerald ash borer and now pose a safety hazard to trail users.
The trail will remain open as tree work is completed. Please use caution, stay alert, and follow any posted signage or directions from crews while you’re on the trail.
Thank you for your patience as we work to keep the Virginia Creeper Trail safe and enjoyable for everyone.
We will open with regular business hours tomorrow, Friday, January 2, 2026.
Wishing everyone a safe and joyful evening as you ring in 2026!
