Pedaling to the Falls

Join a Park Ranger on bike patrol for this rare adventure during Year of the Trail. The Park will be opening the main park road and the Hickory Nut Falls Trail for mountainbiking for one night only. We will start at the entrance gate to Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park and climb all the way out to the base of a 400-foot waterfall!
This is a 9-mile round trip, strenuous pedal on both paved road and gravel trail. This event will be after hours so there will be no visitors or other hikers on the roador trail. You must register for this event! Participants must provide your own bikes, and ride under control. Safety equipment required: helmet, bike light or headlamp, and plenty of drinking fluids and snacks. Dressfor changing seasonal weather.
