Chimney Rock access provides a trailhead for a scenic 2. 7-mile round trip hike (1. 35 miles out) with 550 feet of elevation gain along the Lower Crooked Wild and Scenic River, located approximately 16 miles south of Prineville on Highway 27.

The nearby Chimney Rock Campground offers camping, potable water, and easy river access for fishing and paddling, with additional day-use areas and campgrounds available in the segment.

The area is open year-round and best visited in spring or fall; note that the trail has no accessible facilities, though a wheelchair-accessible fishing platform is available at the campground.
