Chimney Rock brings the best of the mountains together in one place. Stand atop the 315 foot Chimney Rock and see amazing 75-mile views of Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure and the Carolina Piedmont. With several unique hiking trails, the Park has something for everyone from the family-friendly Great Woodland Adventure trail with 12 discovery stations along the way to the more adventurous Four Seasons trail which climbs more than 400 feet. Be sure to hike the Hickory Nut Falls trail, the reward is the 404 foot falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the East. Chimney Rock also offers guided rock climbing lessons for beginner to advanced climbers.
The Old Rock Cafe offers tasty sandwiches and snacks to get you fueled up for your hike. Souvenirs of your trip can be picked up at Cliff Dwellers Gift Shop.
The Park offers discounts for groups, and is pet friendly.
Note: Chimney Rock is currently undergoing capital improvement projects resulting in the temporary closure of our elevator. Please check www.chimneyrockpark.com/progress for complete details.

My brother and I were on a motorcycle trip thru the Blue Ridge Parkway and stoped at Chimney Rock. We had a great hike with fantastic views of Hickory Nut Gorge and the falls. It sure was worth the side trip. I would like to go back some time.
