Amanda Lasley, a veteran park ranger, has been named superintendent of South Mountains State Park in Burke County, according to the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. Lasley takes the helm after longtime superintendent Jonathan Griffith retired earlier this year.
The bridge over High Shoals Falls at South Mountains State Park is closed until further notice.
Because of the closure, High Shoals Falls Loop Trail does not make a complete loop. Visitors are still able to access the viewing platform for the waterfall.
