Description
Chimney Rock Park is an American heritage site and a popular destination for nature-lovers. This 1000 acre park with its hiking trails, magnificent hill-top views and a 404-foot waterfall makes any trip an unforgettable experience. Some of the finest attractions are the 315 foot Chimney Hill with its 75-mile panoramic view, the Hickory Nut Falls, the Opera Box and the several caves. For those who love to exercise there are some great trails for rock climbing, while the lazier ones can simply gape at the bounty of nature and feel privileged to have visited.
