A collapsed retaining wall at Chimney Rock State Park has caused the park to be closed since the collapse occurred Saturday, May 26.
Erosion caused by heavy rains prompted the retaining wall along the park’s upper parking lot to collapse. The park will remain closed until the wall can be assessed and stabilized, and debris cleared from the road below.
Opening updates will be posted at www.chimneyrockpark.com.
