A Hiking Trail for Everyone

Due to winter capital improvements, the Outcroppings and Skyline trails will be closed until spring 2012. There is currently no access to the Chimney and points of interest above, including the Opera Box, Devil’s Head and Exclamation Point. The elevator and Sky Lounge will also remain closed until spring 2012. Read more about improvements, winter hours and reduced admission here.

Get ready to explore! The Park features five unique hiking trails—some of the best in North Carolina. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to see rare and indigenous plants, unusual geological formations and a variety of native wildlife. The trails range in skill level from easy to strenuous. Whether you want a leisurely stroll, a challenging hike or something fun and interactive for the kids, Chimney Rock has the perfect trail for you. Most trails are open all year, weather permitting.
