Hanging Rock State Park, 2007
We visited Hanging Rock State Park in late March 2007. Even then the effects
of the coming 2007 drought were evident. The waterfalls were nearly empty.
Since this was late winter or early spring, the falls should have had
significantly more water in them. We hope to get back at some later time when
the stream flows are higher.
Even though the waterfalls were not as full as expected, the trip to the park was well worth it. T he hiking trail to the various waterfalls is easy. Although the climb back up was harder than the climb down. But at least it wasn't uphill both ways.
For information on how to get there and what else to do visit the NC Parks official site. The photo on the site shows what the falls should look like.
