Exploring the Falls

Hickory Nut Falls trail’s main destination is to the base of the waterfalls. It is relatively safe to rock-hop and explore the stream right at the base of the falls since it is flat there, but it is generally frowned upon. Adventurers cross the base and even use it as a photo shoot!

Hickory Nut Falls in Chimney Rock State Park, North Carolina is a rather light-flowing and feathery falls flowing through granite rocks. It’s hard to say whether this is a seasonal waterfall or just a light-flowing one that happens to be year-round.
