Rumbling Bald Closures in February & March

The NC Department of Environmental & Natural Resources announced today that Rumbling Bald will be closed intermittently in February and March to allow for road improvement projects, erosion control and protection of vegetation. Current plans call for weekday closures in February. Later in the month, the closures will encompass the weekends as well. They apologize for the inconvenience, but Park Superintendent Adrienne Wallace states "... this project is necessary to manage and enhance this outstanding recreation asset... as we develop a master plan for Chimney Rock State Park in coming months."
