*X* News from Montgomery Bell: *X*
The park has experienced a devastating amount of downed trees from this afternoon’s storm (11/7).
Jackson Hill road will be closed for tree removal. All trails will be closed until further notice. The park office will be closed at least tomorrow as there is no power.
At this time, we are not requesting volunteers and suggest the public avoid the park while we clean up from this storm.
Be safe, we can’t wait to see you soon.

11/7 ~1" of rain.
There is a small tree down on boiling Springs schoolmarm. You’ll have to walk it, but it shouldn’t give you any trouble as far as any safety concerns. We’ll get it cut out as soon as we can.
