Elk Knob, Lake James, New River, and Stone Mountain state parks will reopen at least partially on Nov. 15; three parks will remain closed until further notice and face long-term closures: Chimney Rock, Mount Mitchell, and South Mountains.
Access to Rendezvous Mountain is from Rendezvous Mtn Rd, off of Shingle Gap Road, Purlear.
Rendezvous Mtn Rd is approximately 1.4 miles, gravel surface, moderately steep and narrow. It is then paved once you enter the park. Vehicle access ends at the park office.
