Project Description > Greenways Incorporated has been commissioned by the State of North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation to prepare a master plan for the 4,300-acre Chimney Rock State Park and surrounding environs. This iconic park is the centerpiece of the Hickory Nut Gorge area, south of Asheville, NC. Greenways Incorporated will conduct a participatory planning process that includes input from local and state residents. We will conduct a thorough evaluation of environmental features of the park. We will also examine current park operations and the future needs of park users. The goal is to produce a 100-year vision, 25-year master plan and 5-year action plan for the State Park.
