Chimney Rock State Park
Chimney Rock State Park is like a backpack stuffed full
of surprises. From native wildlife and diverse vegetation,
to educational trails and exquisite views, the park inspires
and delivers at every turn, crook and corner. A number
of trails offer strikingly different takes on the park.
Hickory Nut Falls trail winds through the forest to the
second highest natural falls east of the Mississippi River.
Take the Exclamation Point trail to reach the highest
point in the park at 2,480 feet, where a spectacular
view of Hickory Nut Gorge unfolds before you.
