About Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock is a village in Rutherford County, North Carolina, United States.  The village takes its name from a large granite outcropping located on a summit above the village itself in Chimney Rock State Park. 

This beautiful rock is overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. At the fee-based Chimney Rock attraction, hike to Hickory Nut Falls and take an elevator or climb to the top of the park's namesake, a 315-foot freestanding rock spire. It also has the most facilities, including riverside areas, interpretive exhibits, and gift shops. The free Rumbling Bald and Eagle Rock accesses provide a more rugged backcountry experience.
