Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park is located in Chimney Rock Village near Lake Lure in the North Carolina Mountains. Just 25 miles southeast of Asheville, the park is nestled in Hickory Nut Gorge between the towns of Lake Lure and Bat Cave.
Hickory Nut Falls
Hike the Hickory Nut Falls trail. It’s well worth the effort to get to the foot of Hickory Nut Falls, one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.
Opera Box
Take the Skyline Trail up to the Opera Box where you can rest and take in all the majestic beauty of the area. When you enter this unique spot, you are covered by a rock overhang with a narrow horizontal opening that presents panoramic scenes of sky, water and trees while the wind and the birds provide the perfect soundtrack.
Great Woodland Adventure!
Woodland creatures take the spotlight at 12 discovery stations along this easy .6-mile winding trail. Grady the Groundhog, the park’s mascot, illustrates how his forest friends live, including chipmunks, frogs, owls and butterflies. Try to jump as far as a spider, spot the salamanders or name the birds of prey soaring above. Larger-than-life wood and metal sculptures bring the trail to life. Grady’s Animal Discovery Den, home to live critters, is located next to the trail head.
Devil’s Head
At the start of the Skyline trail just above the Chimney, you may notice a menacing rock face peering out over the Gorge. On even closer inspection, it appears to have taken on the countenance of evil incarnate – it’s the Devil’s Head! How did this rock form itself into such a shape? Find out the truth on your visit!
Isn’t it nice to know after all that fun and fresh air you can go ahead and rest and leave the driving to
someone else?
