Stone Mountain is not immediately visible upon entering the park that
bears its name, but this magnificent 600-foot granite dome is well worth the
wait. Sunlight and shadows dance across a broad tapestry of stone. White-tailed
deer emerge from the security of the forest to graze on meadow grasses at the
mountain's base. The scenery is only one attraction of the park.
Test your fly-fishing techniques in more than 17 miles of designated trout
waters. Or, with more than 16 miles of trails, take a hike in the park.
Designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1975, Stone Mountain is bounded on
the north by the Blue Ridge Parkway and on the west by the Thurmond Chatham Game
Lands. More than 13,747 acres of mountain beauty offer opportunities for outdoor
activities of all kinds.
