South Trailhead Openings
The South Trailhead gate will be open, providing special vehicle access that brings visitors closer to popular trailheads in the Wildlands. Visitors may drive to Mitchville Meadow, located approximately 1.5 miles into Hothole Valley.
Open from 7 AM to 6 PM (closes at 6 PM sharp).
This single-day gate opening is made possible by dedicated GPMCT volunteers and is part of our scheduled seasonal gate openings. Access may change due to weather or conditions. We appreciate your understanding.
Visitor Guidelines:
- Visitors must sign in upon arrival to ensure contact in case of gate closure time changes.
- Drivers must respect hikers, walkers, cyclists, and equestrians.
- Do not exceed 15 MPH.
- Vehicles must remain on Valley Road and may only park in designated parking areas.
- Do not drive beyond designated areas.
- No off-road recreational vehicles permitted.
- Follow Wildlands usage guidelines.
- Pack out all trash.
- Respect wildlife and habitat—do not disturb natural areas
Support Conservation, Give Today
You care about the Wildlands – whether you’re hiking, biking, or picking wild blueberries. The work of stewarding these 5,200 acres requires constant effort and resources, and as the Wildlands grow, so does the need for stewardship.
There is more land to manage, trails to maintain, and boundaries to mark. Your support helps ensure this land remains a refuge for wildlife and people.
