Chimney Rock Forest Stroll

January 1, 1977

The former Jeep Trail became known as the Forest Stroll walking trail. This was done due to the energy crisis at the time and a desire for a trail that allowed for lower impact eco-tourism. The trail was also adopted as more people wanted a trail to hike along with access to the waterfall. 1
