Chimney Rock Park
Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park is located in Chimney Rock Village near Lake Lure in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Just 25 miles southeast of Asheville, NC, the Park is nestled in Hickory Nut Gorge adjacent to the towns of Lake Lure and Bat Cave. The Park welcomes leashed and vaccinated pets.
Privately owned by the Morse Family for more than 100 years, Chimney Rock was acquired by the State of North Carolina in 2007 to become part of a larger state park dubbed Chimney Rock State Park. Currently, the 1,000-acre Chimney Rock is the only part of state park open to the public.
Chimney Rock, the 535-million-year-old monolith for which the Park is named, is considered one of the most iconic sites in North Carolina. From its top, you’ll soak in 75-mile panoramic views of Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. We’ve made the views easily accessible to all with our 26-story elevator built right inside the mountain.
