Great place to visit if you’re in the area. There are trails available that are family friendly such as the hickory nut trail which ends the a waterfall . Be prepared to dish out $15 for the entrance.
The elevator was out of order so we had to hike to the top. The view was great just make sure to bring enough water for yourself. Don't miss hiking to Hickory Nut Falls . Send us a friend request we'll
If you've never gone to Chimney Rock, it's definitely worth the trip. Hike as many of the trails as you can, and don't forget about the cave -- really nice on those HOT summer days.
Worth the trip and the entrance fee. If you aren't into hiking , you can take an elevator almost all the way to the top!

Go during the week to avoid crowds and be prepared for steps from hell! Or use the elevator for easy up
Take the stairs to the top of the chimney rock then the elevator down
The hiking is superb and so is the rock climbing . Instructors are on hand to teach you. Explore the waterfalls and try to find the one where they filmed "The Last of the Mohicans".
1.5 mole hike to the Hickory Nut Falls was totally worth it. It is beautiful!
Go early park up top. Absolutely beautiful. If u have triple A show your card and u get $2 off per ticket.
Make sure to bring enough water for the stairmaster if you decide to climb to the top( about 30 min hike up). Also make sure to hike to Hickory Nut Falls Read more
Really nice park ! Be sure to climb the stairs to Chimney Rock! Well worth it!
Beautiful views ! Stretch before you climb all of the stairs ! Quite the workout-very rewarding
Elevator to top is under construction . Because of this, they have extended season passes to be good through next year, so you are getting about 18 months of access for $25...a great deal!!
Made our South's Best List! Skip the elevator and climb all 400 steps up to—ta da—Chimney Rock for a look at Lake Lure. Read more
Elevator was down but was so worth 491 stairs . They also discounted the price because it was down.
A beautiful place to visit. You can see it all from here.
Was here for Labor Day. Elevator was down. Took the stairs to 2280 elevation . Couldn't push to Exclamation point ! ????
The elevators still not working & hickory nut falls was closed (boooo!) but stop at the cave on your way down from chimney rock!
The water vending machines take credit cards ! Thirsty people who forget about bringing cash rejoice!
Great hiking and views for pictures!
Just do it. Lots of stairs .
Get there early to for parking and to beat the endless hoards of inconsiderate people.
Tourist trap but still worth the climb. You cannot beat the view .
Hiking , views , waterfall
Trail to waterfall closed. Mother nature doing some redesigning. Rock slide took the bridge out
The View ! Ride with Mountain High Adventures!www.mtnhighadventures.com
Omg- long uphill walk. Beautiful view . Could I have done without it? Probably.
Beautiful mountain view , and very high up.
Not enjoyable for dogs too many stairs . If you are fit, go all the way up to Exclamation Point !
Elevator is still broken be prepared to sweat !
Weekend getaway.
The incredible view is worth the climbing.
Incredible view from Opera Box.

Go to Chimney Rock and ride the elevator to the top of the mountain !
Take the elevator up and hike down the trail

Don't fall off!
stay on the trails and don't drop your camera
Gotta see this view !
Hike up to Exclamation Point !

Huge rip off. Can't go to the top and they still charge $9. Absolute crap!
Dont fall off
Excelente lugar, con una vista increíble.
Prices are admittedly a little steep, but the food was honestly delicious, very fresh, and made to order — not prepackaged. - Gavin Anderson
Aside from the actual view on the top of Chimney Rock this was my favorite view on any of the trails. You can get a great view of the Appalachian Mountains on your left. - Christine Jenkins
A place to enjoy the view as you make your way to Chimney Rock itself! - jiresell
Great hike. We viewed the fall from both the top and the bottom. On June 1, 2021 there was not a lot of rain so if you choose to do only one, I definitely recommend the view from the bottom. - Christine Jenkins
Admission is $8/ adult, which is pretty steep for a small beach. Parking is also very hard to come by. I ended up parking (maybe illegally?) at the resort across the street. - Chris Gibson
Visit after a big rain to see the 404-foot-tall falls gushing with water! - Chimney Rock
