Additional Description: Welcome to Hanging Rock State Park! The landscape throughout the park has been shaped by many forces. Over millions of years, wind, water and ice have sculpted the mountains. The dedication and hard work of the young men in the Civilian Conservation Corps have forged many of the park facilities. Even animals and plants have played a role in molding the park as we know it today. Explore some of the wonder that is Hanging Rock State Park. Geology-From shallow sea to lofty peaks to today’s eroded terrain, the park has experienced great geological change. This symbol identifies displays that provide clues to the park’s geologic history. CCC-The Civilian Conservation Corps built this park immediately preceding WWII. Look for this symbol and learn how the young men stationed in Danbury mastered skills in stone masonry, engineering and woodworking to create facilities at one of the finest parks in the state. Natural Communities-Animals and plants occupy every kind of habitat in Hanging Rock State Park-from bare rock outcrops to streambeds to the forest canopy. Look for this symbol to learn more about the organisms that call Hanging Rock home. Ecological Change-Nature is dynamic, never static. Exhibits with this symbol will highlight the forces of change at work in and around the park.
