Chimney Rock Post Office Plans to Reopen on Feb. 23

CHIMNEY ROCK, NC — The U.S. Postal Service plans to reopen the Chimney Rock Post Office, located at 366 Main St., on Monday, Feb. 23, at noon.

The Post Office will maintain regular hours from noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and provide full retail and Post Office Box services. P.O. Box customers can begin receiving their mail at the Chimney Rock Post Office again after the reopening.

The Post Office was among many Postal Service facilities damaged by Hurricane Helene in October 2024. The damage necessitated a transfer of P.O. Box and delivery operations to the Lake Lure Post Office, approximately two miles away.

The reopening of the Chimney Rock Post Office marks a significant milestone following the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The Postal Service looks forward to welcoming customers back to the office.
