Landslide at Jones Gap State Park


Heavy rains in the upstate produced a mass-wasting landslide at Jones Gap State Park in Greenville County the week of July the 9th, 2006.  The landslide occurred west of the park office along the Middle Saluda River. Trees, rocks, boulders, and soil moved from the mountain top and closed one hiking trail. Individuals should be aware that landslides also might occur during flash flood warnings resulting from heavy rain events.
