Explore the Natural Side of Stone Mountain Park
Atlanta may be only 30 minutes away, but it's easy to get lost in the woods amid Stone Mountain's 3,200 acres. Explore the geology and ecology of the mountain on 15 miles of hiking trails, and learn more about the park's natural history at a fascinating interactive museum.
Go Back in Time
Snap the perfect family picture at the Grist Mill or the Covered Bridge. For recent local history, the outdoor granite museum is a must-see. A working granite quarry into the 1970s, Stone Mountain granite was shipped all over the world.
Where to Stay at Stone Mountain Park
Stone Mountain Park Campground is a great option for overnight trips to the park. For a bit more luxury, stay at the Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort or the The Inn at Stone Mountain Park, both located within the park grounds.
