National Park Service Superintendent Trish Kicklighter says that as crews continue to assess flood impacts to campgrounds, parking lots, boat launches, beaches, roads, and trails at New River Gorge National River, Bluestone National Scenic River, and Gauley River National Recreation Area, a few additional closures have been added to the West Virginia sites.

Floodwaters from last week's storms have left behind large amounts of muddy debris, downed trees, rockslides, landslides, and damaged roadways, bridges and culverts.

"Most of the facilities in the three parks are open," Superintendent Kicklighter said Wednesday. "However, as our crews reach more areas, we are finding severe damage to roads and bridges in a few locations. We are still working on assessing all of the park trails, but most are open. Trail users should expect downed trees, muddy conditions and localized washouts near ditches and stream crossings. Folks should report major hazards to park visitor centers."

The following areas are officially CLOSED until further notice:

Roads: Route 82/Fayette Station Road, north side; Keeneys Creek Road, approximately 1 mile below Winona, and all the way to Nuttallburg; Lower Beach Access Road, near Sandstone Falls
