It's easy to locate everything, and people are usually friendly. The only thing we don't like is that the playground area is always soft and soggy feeling even when it's been a week or more since rain. Our kids hate feeling like they're sinking in the dirty mulch.

The young brunette at the front desk was very helpful, recommending which trails to prioritize based on what I wanted to see, and clarifying the difficulty levels of the trails. I chatted with a local regular who was also very friendly. Free parking, clean restrooms, water fountains, and clear signage to all the trails; this is a perfect rally point to make a full day out of exploring Hanging Rock. Don't skip the deck at the back--beautiful view with tables, would make a good picnic spot!

It took a bit of travel for us, slightly over an hour each way, but it was worth it! The grounds here, the trail, the surrounding river, and the playground all make for the perfect day for kids and their parents, too! The nature trail is packed well and overall very stroller-friendly, with shortcuts in case you need to cut your walk short. There are also lots of great vantage points to sit for a moment and take in the scenery, if your kids will afford you that luxury. As for the playground, this is one to remember. It is so unique, constructed out of wood and fitting right in with the natural vibe of the surrounding woods. And the added bonus is listening to the flowing current nearby while your young ones enjoy going down the fish slide, swinging, and building a fort with bamboo. Also a lot of good spots for bird watching here! Be sure not to miss the part of the trail by the gravel parking lot. That takes you to the waterfall area, and there's a spot with 4 hammocks rigged up for kicking back and enjoying! Make a plan to come visit this place on a warm, sunny day. If you like nature, you and your family will love this! And if you are a history buff, interested in environmental conservatism, or a homeschool parent, this area is a good experience and opportunity to learn about the Saxapahaw/Sissipahaw natives' life on the Haw River and the development of the hydro mill as a source of energy. This area checks boxes for spiritual wellness, educational opportunity, and physical exercise as well. Aside of that, just fun and enjoyable!

The SEVENTH wreck, Vernon strikes 7 electrical linemen, killing 4 people and seriously injured 3 more. The City of Eden stole one of my most precious friends, Mattie Lockwood, who has been my friend since childhood. Mattie and I went through scouting and church together, every summer stayed at each other's houses, chose to join the military on the same canoe trip, and maintained the close friendship through deployments, raising a family, and life. He was an honorable man and by far one of the most loyal people I have ever met. Mattie would have willingly laid down his life for others. Instead, Mattie laid dead, bleeding out in the street for nothing; which could have been prevented SIX TIMES. Shame on the officer(s) who swore to protect those in their jurisdiction and never charged Vernon the previous six times. You and Vernon stole Mattie, one of the few good guys that still existed on this planet. I guess you have to commit murder to in Eden to receive a traffic citation as an employee....pure dereliction of duty. SHAME.
