Fontana Dam has been closed to vehicular traffic for the entire season, although it may yet be opened before the end of May. It has never, in twelve seasons, been closed this long. Many section, weekend and day hikers are disappointed as am I; and for me, it means walking that extra 3/4 mile 2 to 4 times every week.
Oh well! It just makes me arrive about thirty minutes later at my destination and does not affect the thru-hikers. And Maintenance is actually what keeps the wheels turning.
This is a photo of the Dam this past Sunday morning around 0700 when I walked across on my way to the trailhead.
Keep hiking,
