Hanging Rock Hanging Rock Park Road, Walnut Cove, NC 27052

"Amazing hike. I took my 76 year old Grandmother up the mountain. It's an amazing view. 1000% worth it. However do be kind to trail, and clean up after yourself."

"Great day for a hike. We took the lake trail, which was about 1 mile long. It was fairly flat with great views. It was an easy hike and fun with a group of kids. Swimming is fun there in the summer but the lake can be cold all year round. We have also taken other trails in the past."

"I come here frequently and absolutely love the trails and waterfalls. However, over the course of the summer and now autumn, I’ve noticed an increase of trash being left behind by other hikers. Please remember to clean up after yourselves so that others can use and enjoy this beautiful park."

"The hike was quite challenging, but the view at the summit really makes it worthwhile. I tried not to feel insecure at how many retirees and small children passed me on the way up, lol. It is popular but not crowded, with ample parking, bathrooms and a water fountain at the visitor center, and a well maintained trail."

"Best hike in the park. The views are awesome. The hike has moderate inclined for the first 3rd, flattens out in the middle, and then gets really steep and rocky in the last 3rd. Watch your footing carefully here and watch for snakes. The hike may be strenuous at times but it's completely doable and worth it."
