Chimney Rock State Park is closed until further notice after a partially collapsed retention wall was discovered Sunday morning.
According to the official website, as well as the Twitter and Facebook accounts for Chimney Rock State Park, the collapse happened at the upper parking lot.
Photographs shared by the official Chimney Rock State Park accounts showed a significant portion of the parking lot eroded, with concrete barricades between the nearby road and the damaged parking lot.
The official accounts stated that the damage would need to be assessed and stabilized before the park would allow any more visitors.
There is no indication at this time when Chimney Rock State Park will be reopened.
