Shenandoah National Park has reopened all trails in the Rapidan Camp area previously closed due to the Quaker Run Fire.
These areas were closed to the public while crews worked to remove fire-weakened trees.
On Friday, the Quaker Run Fire was declared 100 percent contained.

About 700 acres were within Shenandoah’s boundary.
Shenandoah’s complete fire ban remains in effect.
