Privately owned by the Morse family for more than 100 years, Chimney Rock was acquired by the state of North Carolina in 2007 to become part of a larger state park dubbed Chimney Rock State Park.
Some of the more popular trails in the park include the Hickory Nut Falls Trail, which takes you out to a 404-foot waterfall, one of the highest falls east of the Mississippi River.
There's also Skyline Trail, which visits the highest point in the park, Exclamation Point, at 2480 feet. The vantage point offers dramatic views of Hickory Nut Gorge, which also served as the backdrop for several scenes in the 1992 movie, The Last of the Mohicans.
