Panola Mountain State Park

Reservations (800) 864-7275
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; Saturday–Sunday, Noon–5PM; Closed Monday except holidays.
