About Hanging Rock

Tucked along the Ohio River in Lawrence County, Hanging Rock is a peaceful, scenic village named for the massive sandstone bluff rising above the riverbank. Long after its days as a booming 19th-century iron town, the community now offers a quiet, small-town lifestyle with easy access to neighboring Ironton and Ashland. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate having the Ohio River right at their doorstep along with the nearby Hanging Rock Recreation Area, where wooded trails and old quarry ponds make for great weekend fishing and off-roading.
