[ARCHIVED] McAfee Knob Parking Lot Closed, Use Shuttle Service or Alternate Parking

McAfee Knob Parking Closed

The parking lot at the McAfee Knob Trailhead will be closed during bridge construction this year. Permanent parking capacity will be restored once bridge construction is completed by late 2024. Towing is actively enforced along Route 311 for road safety. Limited parking may be available on Cold Catawba Road (Route 864), but drivers should pay close attention and only park where designated by signs as towing will be enforced along this route as well. 

Shuttle service to the trailhead resumed March 1, 2024. The shuttle runs from the points in Downtown Salem, Salem's Longwood Park, and the Interstate 81 Exit 140 Park and Ride lot to the McAfee Knob Trailhead. Reservations are encouraged but walk-up service is also available. 

>> Learn more about the shuttle service on the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle web page.

>> To check the shuttle schedule or make reservations, visit www.mcafeeshuttle.com.

Alternative Parking is available at the Catawba Sustainability Center and along some shoulders on Route 864 (Old Catawba Road). Drivers should pay close attention and only park where designated by signs. 

>> See our Alternate Parking Map for more details.
