LURAY, Va – Shenandoah National Park officials say several Big Meadows area trails and Rapidan Road remain closed Friday while crews continue to work on the remnants of a wildfire that started Thursday afternoon.

The fire affected just over 13 acres and was contained by National park Service firefighters and a crew from the U-S Forest Service late Thursday evening.

Claire Comer, Interpretive Specialist with the park, says power has been restored to the Big Meadows area where several facilities opened for the season today.

Big Meadows Wayside, Campground and Picnic Grounds, as well as the Lewis Mountain area are all now open.

A power line in the area of the blaze necessitated a temporary power outage.
