As North Carolina enters Phase II of its re-opening, more businesses will open as they're able.
The following updates have been provided by the CDA member businesses in Chimney Rock Village:
Updated May 24th, 2020
NOTE: In order to promote them to the public, this is a service to the member businesses of the Chimney Rock Village Community Development Association, (the CDA). If a Village business is not on this list, they are either not a member of the CDA or we have been provided no information about their business activities.
All of the businesses on this list have indicated that they are following the CDC and State of North Carolina regulations for safe social distancing, disinfecting of areas, and regular cleaning of high traffic areas.
Our business members encourage the visiting public to adhere to social distancing and to wear face masks when around others in stores and restaurants.
ATTRACTIONS:
Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park:
​
The Chimney Rock section of the Park is open Fridays - Tuesdays, with the Ticket Plaza open from 30 am - 4:30 pm. The park itself closes at 7 pm. Closed on Wednesdays & Thursdays for construction on the top parking lot.
Since the Park will be operating at a "limited" capacity to allow for safe & maintainable social distancing, entrance into the Park will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once that capacity is reached, the Park will close to any further entry until some space has cleared to allow more guests to enter. The top parking lot is still closed due to construction, so guests will be required to park in the Meadows area (just past the Ticket Plaza).
The Sky Lounge and elevator will be closed due to confined space. Cliff Dwellers gift shop and Snack Shack will be open for to-go orders only. The Ticket Plaza will be accessible by drive-thru windows only.
The restrooms in the Meadows and the top parking lot will be the only ones open and will be marked with standing areas to provide proper social distancing. Get full details about trails and access from the Chimney Rock State Park website
