CLEVELAND, Tenn., April 23, 2026 — USDA Forest Service officials initiate Stage 1 Fire Restrictions on the Cherokee National Forest beginning Friday in response to extreme fire danger due to prolonged drought. The restrictions will prohibit fires outside of developed recreation sites.

Drought conditions persist across the entire Cherokee National Forest according to the US Drought Monitor. Fire threat remains extreme with dry conditions suitable for rapid wildfire spread.

Effective April 24, 2026, the following fire restrictions are in place for the entire Cherokee National Forest until terminated by the Forest Service:
• Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire or campfire outside of developed recreation sites. 36CFR § 261.52 (a).

Under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, the following activities are allowed:
• Commercially available fuel stoves (portable gas camp stoves or grills) are permitted.
• Fire or campfire in a Forest Service provided metal fire pit, metal fire ring, or pole mounted grill at a developed recreation area or campground.
Cherokee National Forest visitors are asked to be very careful with fire and to obey all state and federal fire related laws and regulations.

Firefighters on the Cherokee National Forest now contain 60% of the 650-acre Appalachia Fire burning in remote National Forest property in Polk County.

Aided by two brief periods of wet weather, approximately 50 firefighters are now prepared to return public access to portions of the Cherokee National Forest temporarily closed. On Wednesday, Forest Service Road 23 will reopen along with the Smith Mountain Trail. Trails associated with Turtle Town Falls will remain closed due to ongoing fire suppression work. The public will continue to observe smoke from the fire area while crews work towards full containment in the coming days.
