Fort Mountain derives its name from an ancient 855-foot-long rock wall
which stands on the highest point of the mountain. The mysterious wall
is thought to have been built by Indians as fortification against other
more hostile Indians or for ancient ceremonies. Situated in the
Chattahoochee National Forest close to the Cohutta Wilderness area, this
park offers a variety of outdoor activities. Hikers, mountain bikers and
horseback riders will find some of the most beautiful trails in northern
Georgia. Most wind through hardwood forest and blueberry thickets,
occasionally crossing streams and providing spectacular vistas. During
the summer, children will enjoy the sand beach located on a clear
mountain lake, as well as miniature golf and pedal boat rental.
