Hanging Rock State Park, State park in Stokes County, United States.
Located in the northern part of North Carolina, Hanging Rock State Park extends across 7,019 acres of mountainous terrain with numerous rock formations.
The park originated in 1935 when the Winston-Salem Foundation and Stokes County Committee donated 3,096 acres to establish a protected natural space.
Indigenous communities inhabited the park's territory before European settlement, leaving behind artifacts and contributing to the area's archaeological significance.
The park includes 20 miles of marked hiking trails, a lake for swimming, camping facilities, picnic areas, and a network of mountain biking paths.
The park's rare ecological system supports both northern and southern species of trees, including Canadian hemlock growing alongside Carolina hemlock.
