Hanging Rock State Park – Hidden Falls

The Hidden Falls at Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina is a short hike with plenty of beautiful scenery. It’s just a quick walk from the visitor center parking lot, about 0.4 miles into the Indian Creek Trail. You can even dip your feet in the small area at the base of the falls. While the State Park rates the entire Indian Creek Trail as strenuous, we believe this specific section of the trail is more moderate. Additionally, the trail features Window Falls, allowing you to see two falls on one trail.
