Shenandoah National Park says the Old Rag day-use ticket pilot project has been implemented in the highlighted area and trails. This pilot is intended to help evaluate and adapt to a permanent system in the future.
Visitors to Old Rag Mountain, including hikers on the Saddle, Ridge, and Ridge Access trails, will need to obtain an Old Rag day-use ticket in advance, in addition to a Park entrance pass. The orange-highlighted trails on the map below show which trails require a ticket. The red-shaded area shows the entire area where a day-use ticket is required to camp, travel, fish, etc. The trails, roads, and areas that aren’t highlighted do not require an Old Rag day-use ticket, including Weakley Hollow Fire Road.
Tickets can be purchased — in advance — on recreation.gov. For more information, please visit the website: https://go.nps.gov/oldragticket
