Description

Hike Description

Waypoint Adventure will be guiding an accessible hike for people with disabilities. Rumbling Bald is a 1.5-mile trail that is technically a part of Chimney Rock State Park. This trail takes you to boulder fields and to the base of the cliffs of Rumbling Bald Mountain that towers over Lake Lure. The large parking area is about two miles from the main Chimney Rock State Park entrance (so there's no admission fee here). This trail is located outside of Chimney Rock State Park.

 

Cost

Cost per participant is $20. However please do not let the cost discourage you from joining us. Scholarships are available for those who need it. If a scholarship accommodation is needed, please reach out.
