Chimney Rock is open again!

Curious about the geology behind your favorite rock? Join us from 9:00 - 11:00 AM on Saturday, June 13th for a hike where the mountains you’ll see are older than dinosaurs, and instead of fossils you’ll find evidence of the tectonic movement that shaped the unique landscape.

This “gneiss‘ opportunity invites you to explore the features of the gorge, and learn more about Chimney Rock! Learn more and register at ChimneyRockPark.com

Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park will reopen for normal operating hours beginning Wednesday, June 3rd. The Park will be open 8:30-5:30, and guests can hike until 7:00.

NCDOT and NC State Parks worked efficiently to repair the small landslide damage we had along the Park’s road. We are thankful for the quick response, and are looking forward to reopening the Park for our guests. We’ll see you at the Rock soon!
