In-Depth Information
Tucked in the Jefferson National Forest, this trail crisscrosses the Little Stony Creek and
passes a 40-foot waterfall.
Continue uphill to find two more impressive waterfalls. Several hundred feet
beyond these, you will arrive at the Little Stony Falls parking area, where the 16-mile
Chief Benge Scout Trail picks up from Forest Road 701.
DIRECTIONS
To access the Hanging Rock Picnic Area from US Alternative Route 58,
head south on VA Route 72 near Coeburn. Travel for approximately 7 miles to
the Hanging Rock Picnic Area. A sign marks the trailhead.
The upper trailhead, north of Hanging Rock, is a bit more complicated to
find. Fortunately, the forest roads that you need to take are peppered with signs
to Little Stony Falls. From the junction of VA Route 72 south and US Alternat-
ive Route 58, travel south on VA 72 to the minor VA Route 664. Go west on VA
664 for about 1 mile to Forest Road 700. From there, follow signs to Little Stony
Falls.
