This picnic area features 18 picnic units with table and grill or fireplace. A group shelter is also available.

Hanging Rock Picnic area is located beside Little Stony Creek in a hardwood forest with rhododendron and hemlocks. Huge rock cliffs along the creek and the sound of rushing water add to the natural beauty of the area.

Little Stony Creek provides trout fishing. The Little Stony National Recreation Trail, also in the area, is a lovely 2.8 mile hike.
