Chimney Rock Park

To operate Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park to the best of our ability for the state, our guests, our associates and the environment, focusing on outdoor experiences, natural education and exceptional customer service. In Sept. 2013, the Park was awarded an NC GreenTravel certification for it's environmentally-friendly practices. "Chimney Rock Management LLC, which operates the Chimney Rock component within the larger developing state park under a concession contract with state parks, earned its place among NC GreenTravel locations by installing public recycling containers, using locally-produced food in the park's restaurant, reducing water usage, installing more energy-efficient lighting and appliances, removing invasive plants and increasing public environmental education effort." "Staff at Chimney Rock Management, LLC and Chimney Rock State Park as a whole have made great strides in recent years when it comes to environmental sustainability," said Lewis Ledford, former Director of the NC Division of Parks and Recreation.
