Chimney Rock Park Begins Capital Improvents

Submitted by your Friends at Chimney Rock Park

You may have already heard that Chimney Rock Park is undergoing capital improvements to preserve and improve guest accessibility. There's never a good time, but these projects need to be done and we're excited our State Park partners are committed to making them happen.

Current construction began by replacing a section of the Outcroppings trail leading to the Chimney. During this project, the upper mountain, including the Chimney, Sky Lounge, elevator and Skyline trail will be closed. However, the rest of the Park remains open. Once this project is completed in late March 2011, walking to the top of the mountain will be restored.

Areas of the Park that remain accessible, weather permitting, include Hickory Nut Falls trail, Cliff Dwellers Gifts and the Meadows area including the Great Woodland Adventure, Four Seasons trail, Grady's Animal Discovery Den, the Classroom on the Meadows and the covered picnic pavilion.
