Jones Gap

TRAVEL ADVISORY

Please be advised: There is NO cell phone coverage in Jones Gap State Park. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Cold temperatures and ice have forced the seasonal closure of the yellow-blazed, western section of the Rim of the Gap Trail (between junction with trails 15-Frank Coggins, and 21-John Sloan). This section of trail will remain closed until spring temperatures are consistently warm enough for the ice to melt and the trail to become safely passable. If you have any questions, please contact the park directly.

Due to heavy visitation on weekends and holidays, expect long lines when entering the park, especially from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
