Hanging Rock State Park
This gorgeous park provides tourists approximately 18 miles (29 km) of trails ranging in difficulty from easy to difficult and a lake that is ideal for boating, fishing, and swimming. It is situated close to Winston-Salem in the Sauratown Mountains. There are also some lovely waterfalls throughout the park.
Ten cottages as well as a campground for tents and trailers are accessible to tourists who want to camp in Hanging Rock State Park. The Devil's Chimney and the titular Hanging Rock are only a couple of the breathtaking quartzite ridges and formations that make Hanging Rock State Park so well-known.
Hanging Rock State Park, which was developed as a Civilian Conservation Corps undertaking in the 1930s, provides hikers and campers with an excellent outdoor adventure.
