Chimney Rock State Park

Chimney Rock brings the best of the mountains together in one place. Experience a thrill of accomplishment by hiking our nearly 500-step Outcroppings trail to the 315-foot Chimney Rock, where you’ll 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 interactive discovery stations to the adventurous Four Seasons Trail which climbs more than 400 feet.
