CAMPTON — The White Mountain National Forest has announced it is shutting down several high-use trailheads, day-use areas and dispersed recreation facilities until further notice as a means to promote social distancing during the COVID-19 epidemic.

While New Hampshire has a Stay Safe at Home order in place and has asked the public to recreate locally, there have been unseasonably high numbers of visitors to the National Forest resulting in increased potential for exposure to coronavirus, WMNF said.
