Cool place to visit. If you live within an hour of this place or if you are passing through the area it's definitely worth visiting. The parking lot is not huge but if people don't park like knuckleheads it can fit approximately 30 cars. I'm sure on the weekends and summer days it can get full quickly. The sign to the entrance of the parking lot is small and if you're driving very fast you could easily pass it but if you're using Google maps it literally brings you right to the parking lot. There are a couple of porta potties at the parking lot but I personally think all porta-potties are a biohazard LOL. You basically walk maybe a couple hundred feet from the parking lot to the rock field and then it's maybe another couple hundred feet to the small waterfall. I read some of the other reviews before going and honestly not sure what some people were thinking or writing. No-it's definitely not handicapped accessible. And it is not a dog friendly place. There were people there with dogs and the dogs were scared of the rocks and had zero interest in going out onto the rocks no matter how much their owners were trying to get them out there. And even if a dog wanted to go out there a dog could not walk among the rocks. If you go you must be able to walk and have sturdy footing. I think for the average person though it's very walkable and doable. You can bang on some rocks right from the edge without walking out onto them or if you're more adventurous you can walk wherever you want. The rocks have plenty of flat spots to get from rock to rock. I saw one family with a boy approximately 6-8 years old and another family with a girl approximately 7-9 years old so even kids will have no problem with it. Make sure you bring sunglasses or safety glasses if you're going to bang on the rocks. The second rock I hit I felt The rock pieces hitting my face. I went the day after a torrential rainstorm and the rocks and the entire area was completely dry. Try to find the rock with the anime head on it that says hit me. I did see on some reviews where they said there was barely a trickle coming from the waterfall. Again I went a day after a heavy rain and it was flowing great. I saw reviews where they said you could spend 3 to 4 hours here which I suppose you could but I think the average person will spend approximately an hour there between banging on the rocks (honestly once you've hit a few you're like ok they all basically sound the same like you're banging on a piece of metal) and walking to the falls depending on how long you bang on the rocks how long you spend taking photos. Probably not something you would do more than once but definitely a cool thing to do at least once.

Ringing Rocks County Park was a lot of fun, even on a freezing day. I brought two friends who did not believe that it was a real thing. I had seen it on a show once amd thought it would be an interesting place to visit. I was right. We immediately got caught up in finding the different rocks that make a tone when struck. It becomes some what addictive. There are many rocks that have the signs that they have been struck more than most. Don't be fooled though, not all of these are the rocks with a tone. There are a few things that are handy to know before you go though. Firstly, there is one porta potty. The bathrooms are boarded shut. Secondly, while taking video and photos is fun to do, remember that these bolders are huge and stacked on top of one another. If you drop your phine, you may not be able to retrieve it. I ran into one individual who was leaving that wasn't able to reach theirs. Third, wear appropriate shoes for climbing over the boulders. Fourth, your hammer choice greatly effects what you hear. I found an 8oz ball peen hammer gave me the best sound from the hits. Claw hammers give a slight ring with the claws when you strike. And a tire iron make everything sound like a bell (one of my friends didn't want to bring a hammer). I would also recommend you take the short walk down to the falls, if is realy beautiful when it is frozen. Attached to the review is one of my favorite rocks. I hope you can find it when you go.
