Park (770) 389-7801
This unusual park near Atlanta was created to protect a 100-acre granite
monadnock (mountain) often compared to Stone Mountain and Arabia
Mountain. Minimally developed, Panola Mountain shelters rare plants of
the Piedmont region. Hikers may explore the park’s watershed and granite
outcrop on their own, or they may join park staff for guided hikes onto
the restricted-access mountain. Children especially enjoy the
interpretive center with animal exhibits. Due to its delicate ecological
features, Panola Mountain was designated a National Natural Landmark,
and pets and bicycles are not allowed on trails.
Park Hours: September 15-April 14, 7AM-6PM (or dark); April
15-September 14, 7AM-9PM (or dark).
Interpretive Center Hours: Tuesday–Friday, 9AM-5PM;
