Location/Directions
Chimney Rock State Park
174 Chimney Rock Park Rd., Chimney Rock, NC 28720

Highway 9 is still closed to non-local traffic from Black Mountain to Chimney Rock. You must come in through the Lake Lure side of town. This unfortunately makes your commute longer, so please plan accordingly.
When you get to the ticket booth after you enter the park, tell them you are there for a Waypoint hiking program. Follow the park road all the way to the top of the park. At the top there is a large paved parking lot next to the gift shop. We will be meeting at the top of the park to the right of the gift shop.
