The closure will begin on Monday, March 21, for rehabilitation work.
Park officials said Devil’s Den will close on Monday, March 21, 2022, for rehabilitation work that “will address significant erosion and safety issues in this highly visited area of the battlefield. Devil’s Den will be closed for approximately five to six months.”“This project is necessary due to significant erosion along existing walkways and unauthorized social trails that have created safety hazards.
The scope of the project will reestablish, preserve, and protect the features that make up this segment of the battlefield landscape. These improvements will allow visitors to better immerse themselves into the historic landscape that is essential to understanding the three-day Battle of Gettysburg.”
The Crawford Avenue, Sickles Avenue and Devil’s Den parking areas will remain open as much as possible. Adjacent battlefield locations including Slaughter Pen, Devil’s Kitchen and the Triangular Field will remain open. Park officials said the contractor “will occasionally need to close all road access around the area in order to further facilitate the project. All road closure notices will be updated to our website and social media platforms with as much notice as possible at www.nps.gov/gett.”The snipers' nest at Devil's Den within Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pa., Jul. 1, 2021.
