Stop by our Visitor Center before or after your hike and check out our Skins and Skulls table. At the table, a Park Ranger will be discussing the various types of mammals we have at Hanging Rock State Park and pointing out unique features of each animal represented. If you have any questions, please email Jackson.perry@ncparks.gov. Registration is not required.
