The Bald Rock Heritage Preserve offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains in Pickens and Greenville counties on a sunny day.
But the lookout itself is covered in a not-so-spectacular coat of graffiti. Representatives with SCDNR say that has been the case for years and it needs to stop, or they'll close off access to the public.
"That would be a last-ditch measure, but it's something that is being talked about because the damage here is so bad," said Greg Lucas, a spokesperson for SCDNR.
Lucas said the preserve, which has been closed since March 28 to help allow for people to practice social distancing, has garnered more graffiti than it did when it was open to the public.
"This is as bad as I've ever seen it and I'm assuming that most of this has been taking place since March 28 when the preserve was closed," said Lucas.
SCDNR has already put preventative measures in place. They've installed a fence that blocks the entrance area and added a wooden plank which restricts access to the footbridge that welcomes you to the preserve.
Lucas is asking people to call a tipline to report suspicious activity. He said you can call 1-800-922-5431 or text a tip to SCDNR to the number 847411.
