One of NC's newest state parks, Chimney Rock
at Chimney Rock State Park brings the best of the mountains together in one place with a list of things to do as infinite as the views. An elevator inside the mountain or a network of stairs and boardwalks takes you to 315 ft Chimney Rock and amazing 75-mile views of Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure and the Carolina Piedmont. With unique hiking trails suitable for all ages and abilities, 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 ft. Be sure to hike the Hickory Nut Falls trail - the reward is the 404 ft 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 and Sky Lounge Deli offer tasty sandwiches and snacks to get you fueled up for your hike. Souvenirs of your trip can be picked up at Cliff Dwellers or the Sky Lounge Gift Shop. Chimney Rock offers discounts for groups, and is pet friendly. Open all year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Special events include guided hikes, guided bird walks, educational workshops and more. Annual Passes available for just $25. Passholders receive discounts in the Park and at other area attractions.
