Chimney Rock Park is a privately owned park in Chimney Rock, North Carolina. The 996-acre park is located 25 miles southeast of Asheville, North Carolina.

It offers hiking trails for all skill levels, spectacular views, and a 404-foot waterfall, Hickory Nut Falls. Its most notable feature is a 315-foot granite monolith, Chimney Rock, accessible by elevator and providing views of the park and surrounding countryside. The entire park was featured prominently in The Last of the Mohicans (1992).

The park has been owned and operated by the Morse family since 1902; in 2006 the land was put up for sale. In 2007, North Carolina and the Morse family reached an agreement, and the state will be purchasing the park to augment Hickory Nut Gorge State Park.
