Backcountry Campfires Prohibited in the Daniel Boone National Forest

Due to elevated fire danger across eastern Kentucky, fire restrictions are now in effect across the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Building, maintaining or using any fire outside of a Forest Service-provided grill, metal fire ring or fire pit in a developed recreation area or campground is prohibited.

The use of commercially available fuel stoves, such as portable propane camp stoves or covered charcoal grills, remains permitted forestwide.

For more information about the restrictions, visit the Daniel Boone National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/r08/danielboone, follow the Forest on social media @DanielBooneNF or contact your local Ranger District Office.
