| Spectacular Hickory Nut Falls has a vertical drop of 404 feet. Guests
can hike to the top of the falls via the Skyline-Cliff
Trail Loop and to the bottom of the falls via the Forest
Stroll hiking trail. Majestic views of the falls and gorge are visible
from Peregrine's Rest on the Skyline Trail, Inspiration Point and other
points along the Cliff Trail, and from the Forest Stroll. |
Hickory Nut Falls is one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi
River. Icy spring waters pool at several levels at the top before spilling
over the edge of the mountain. At the bottom of the falls, seen from the
Forest Stroll, the water pools at your feet before splashing through a
series of cataracts to the river below.
Chimney Rock Park is a
privately-owned, natural scenic attraction. An admission fee is charged.
