   Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park is no open following the successful completion of a substantial road repair. The attraction had been closed for just over a month to repair one lane and build a new retaining wall along the park’s entrance road. 

   Winter park hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday-Tuesday, with the Ticket Plaza closing at 4:30 p.m. The park is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays until spring. For visitor information, go to chimneyrockpark.com.

   Grady the Groundhog’s prediction on February 2 for six more weeks of winter proved to be accurate when much of northern Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia were buried under six inches or more of snow in mid-February. This severe winter weather delayed the road construction by a week.

   “We’re delighted to be welcoming our guests again as spring starts to arrive. With the weather warming up soon, Chimney Rock’s stunning views will become lush green with spring wildflowers in bloom. It’s one of our favorite seasons in the park,” said Mary Jaeger-Gale, General Manager, Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park.

   Looking ahead, Chimney Rock will host a Springtime Kids’ Climb with Fox Mountain Guides from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on March 29. A legendary event in Western NC, the park’s 59th Annual Easter Sunrise Service will be held April 20. Admission to the sunrise service is free and open to the public. Visit the park’s website or Facebook page for details on upcoming events.

   Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park offers panoramic 75-mile views, hiking trails, rock climbing, nature programs and ancient geologic features that attract visitors from around the world. Call 800-277-9611 or go to chimneyrockpark.com to plan your visit.
