Chimney Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

One place a lot of people get to see at this park, it's a short hike up from the parking lot by the swimming area. Neat rock structure.

It's a big climb up from the creek on the stairs, but that is part of the fun, and they are some amazing views!

Highlight • Beach

Today was the first time I have been to park and seen people in the water, but it was in the 90's in October. I mostly come here in the late fall
