In anticipation of a winter storm, the National Park Service has announced the closure of all visitor facilities at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and Wright Brothers National Memorial. These closures will take effect this weekend and are expected to last until at least the morning of February 2.
The Oregon Inlet and Ocracoke campgrounds are also affected by these closures, with both sites shutting down operations from 12 p.m. today. This decision is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of visitors and staff during the winter storm.
As the situation develops, visitors are advised to check the National Park Service website for updates regarding the reopening of these facilities. The closures are temporary and will be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so.
