A .31-mile section of Rocktop Trail that runs parallel to Tower Trail has been closed due to erosion concerns and to protect sensitive plants and maintain a more easily navigable trail system. Hikers are now directed to use the Tower Trail, with the difference in trail distance between the closed route and the new route less than .05 miles. Park staff have installed signs clearly distinguishing the closed and open sections of trail. For more information, contact park staff at 704-853-5375.
