Roaring Brook Road- delayed opening
Roaring Brook Road suffered significant damage over the winter, and will be delayed in opening this spring. The first week of camping reservations, May 15 to May 23, have been cancelled, and there will be no vehicular access to the campground and to most trailheads along the road during this time. We are working to repair the road as soon as possible, and will provide status updates to Roaring Brook campground reservation holders and to the general public.
