A few weeks ago (I am very behind!) I was able to go to Hanging Rock State Park in NC. I would highly recommend this park, and here is why:
1.Great hiking trails. Trails surround the park lake, go to an observation point, and of course lead to the hanging rock, the main attraction.
2.Fishing. While I didn't catch anything, sadly, I still had fun in the parks lake. I tried fly fishing and regular spinning rod. Fly fishing wasn't easy because you could only do it in select spots and the fish weren't biting flies or regular lures (timing may have played a part, it was mid afternoon). Oh well. And, there is also more fishing in the Dan River, which borders the park. Which brings me to my next attraction.
3. Boating. More specifically, kayaking or canoeing. You can rent a boat for the lake, but you are free to bring your own boats for the Dan River section of the park.
4. Swimming. In the summer, swimming is open in the park lake.

5. Opportunity for pictures. Great scenery, especially from the top of the mountain or observation tower (even the visitor center!), provide great places to take pictures.
You gotta try it sometime.
