    My friends and I met up at 8:00 am on Sunday for the weekly walk with a naturalist. We went on a 4…read moremile hike with 3 rangers. Each ranger was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. One ranger was so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in and around the mountain. One ranger was a bird expert and shared their binoculars with us and showed us how to use a bird call app to figure out how to identify all the fowl we saw. The other ranger told us lots of stories of the history of the park. It was a great experience and I highly recommend you try it.

    2nd time at this park in over 10yrs. Out running errands and this park is within minutes of my…read moredestination. There's parking less than a half mile of the main entrance the only thing about that is you have to get there early . Parking lot holds maybe 25 vehicles. When I pulled in there were 6 cars. I entered the trail on the south entrance. I saw no one ! I was looking around and behind me to make sure it was okay as I was alone. I finally came up behind 2 guys that were walking up ahead. I had been out there maybe 20 min. Saw a large Buck (deer) tried to get a pic but he ran when I pulled out the phone . The trails are completely paved with several wooden bridges along the way. Off pavement trails throughout the park. I did not venture off bc again I was alone and I'm not really familiar with the park. Great park to get you in top tier shape. Winding curves and elevation along the trail. Plenty of shade as the trees hover over . It reminds you of Stone Mountain Park just not as large. Idea weather 80 degrees low humidity. Managed to get in 4 miles. I most definitely will be back .

    Stone Mountain officially opened as a public park in 1965. However, people had been coming here…read morelong before it became an international phenomenon. It was a ceremonial and meeting place for Native Americans up until the 1800's when Aaron Cloud built a 165 foot wooden tower on top of the mountain, charging a small fee to climb it until it blew over a few years later. The railroad surrounding the mountain was once upon a time used to haul granite quarried from the mountain all over the world. It is said that nearly every state has at least one building (likely a government building) using stone from this mountain. In 1958, the State of Georgia purchased the mountain and the land surrounding it. Soon after, a sky lift, train, riverboat, memorial hall, museum, golf course, beach and even hotels opened on the grounds, making stone mountain a premier tourist destination. In the same year of its official open, two historic structures were brought to the park to serve as their permanent home. A grist mill from Elijay Georgia and a gorgeous covered bridge from Athens, Georgia. See covered bridge review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/stone-mountain-covered-bridge-stone-mountain?hrid=1ZxoLxg21z3lxl58tqaKyw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) FINAL THOUGHTS The mill was found abandoned in Fannin County, before being carefully relocated to Stone Mountain. The Mill was built in 1867, making it 148 years old (2015). Here it will stay for the rest of its days, enjoying an entirely new life for more generations whom will admire its simple and quiet beauty.
