NC: New Parking Lot for Moore’s Wall!
Hanging Rock State Park, NC.- Climbers visiting Moore’s Wall can now enjoy a nice parking lot that was recently installed by Hanging Rock State Park. The parking lot was designed specifically for climbers.

The parking lot can accomodate 15-20 cars, so take care not to overwhelm its capacity and carpool from Torys Den if needed. In the future, the State Park plans on installing an information kiosk, a pit toilet and make final upgrades to the trail that connects the parking area to the existing trails of Moore’s Wall. Continue for directions.
Directions: From Winston Salem take Hwy 52N to exit 122 (Moore - RJR Dr). Head east until you hit Rt 66 and take a left. Follow Rt 66 to Moore’s Spring Rd and take a right. A half a mile later you’ll take a right onto Mickey Rd, then a right onto Charlie Young Rd. Go 3/4 mile (passing the parking area for Torys Den), and take a right onto a dirt road called Hooker Farm Rd. Follow this for 1/2 mile or less and take the first right (no name or sign) Parking is found a short distance beyond the right turn. The parking area is gravel and is on level ground.

It seems that the State does not want folks parking further up this road. The road beyond the new lot has been seeded and warning tickets were recently left on vehicles parked beyond the lot at the previous North End/Amphitheatre lot.
On the trip back to the car, still pumped stupid, the trail to the new lot can be easily missed. Make a right off of the rough roadbed near a telephone pole on the right.
