Chimney Rocks Park — Attraction in Blair Township

Perched just a minute's drive off of Charger Highway, Chimney Rocks park is a really lovely place for some relaxation and views of historic Hollidaysburg. With easy-to-reach panoramic vistas that are handicapped and stroller accessible, as well as more challenging trails up to the Chimney Rocks for the adventurous, there is something for everyone.

During the colder months they lock up the public restrooms for some reason... only downfall I have to say about this place. My favorite spot is the Indians Chair at the top lookout. Nice place to sit on the edge and...
