It's so close, yet so far away!  Being from Davie County, you would think something just a few counties over would be something I would know about.  But it wasn't until working in TV news that I ever went to Hanging Rock State Park. Wow!  If you haven't been let me be your quick tour guide.  

There is so much to do inside the gates of this 7 thousand acre park.  If your a wlidlife watcher, no telling what you will see.  We saw deer, turkeys, hawks,  and thank goodness only heard of snakes,  but I am sure they are there.   There are really nice camp sites, amazing trails through some great waterfalls and of course there is boating and fishing.  It's a place that is so easy to get to, but wow do you feel like your in another world. The lake is surrounded by mountains.  The facilities are extremly nice, in fact the state just built new cabins you can rent for the entire weekend.  There is rock climbing for those unlike me who love heights!!  Whether it's a day trip or a weekend trip, pack a cooler, take your bike and hiking shoes and just explore. It is really worth the short drive and the best part,  most of the activities are free!!  Who can beat that!  It's a great place to go spend some quality, quiet time with friends and family.  Check out the link to the website as there are also educational programs for all ages. If your not at a college football game, spend a Saturday at Hanging Rock.  

Hanging Rock is a great family fun find, but I need more ideas.  Let me know what you think of the park, but also start sending me some ideas...  bcampbel@wghp.com .  Kenny and I need more places to explore, more places to show you!  Safe travels!
