About This Trail
The Indian Creek Trail leads to Hanging Rock State Park. It's just under four miles up to the Hanging Rock Visitor Center parking lot and a short climb to Hanging Rock. The first two miles of the Indian Creek Trail are nice to hike early in the day. The climb up to the water falls and the parking lot is brutal, but you can take breaks and cool off at the falls. The view from Hanging Rock is amazing.
