The Chimney Rock State Park surrounds the 315-foot tall Chimney Rock, a geological spire overlooking the Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge. Trails within the park range from easy family friendly walks, to more strenuous hikes, including the trail to the top of Chimney Rock Mountain and the overlook at Hickory Nut Falls. Facilities at the 5,700-acre park include picnic areas, restrooms, a concessions area and interpretative center. Trout fishing is popular along the Rocky Broad River. Rock climbing is popular in the boulder fields within the park’s Rumbling Bald Access area. A visitor center is located at Lake Lure’s Morse Park.
