Portions of Skyline Drive will again be closed to vehicles for certain night hours during hunting season, the Park Service announced.
Shenandoah National Park Superintendent J.W. Wade is taking this action due to the illegal hunting pressure which occurs along the Drive during hunting season. Supt. Wade noted that several arrests were made earlier this year, some for felony hunting related charges.
From Nov. 12 through Jan. 6, 1990, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31), and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65) and Roekfish Gap (Mile 105), will be closed daily between dusk and 8 a.m. The section of the Drive between Thornton Gap (U.S. 211) and Swift Run Gap (U.S. 33) will remain open 24 hours per day, weather permitting.
Supt. Wade said, “By closing portions of the Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary.”
The superintendent added that, “The Park has a reward program to assist in combating illegal hunting within the Park.” A reward will be paid to any person who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of anyone who hunts, transports or attempts to transport illegally taken wildlife within Shenandoah National Park. The identity of all persons furnishing information will be strictly confidential, and a person does not have to reveal their name.
