Filled with beautiful scenery and hiking trails. The roads allow for great cycling as well, as the speed limits are 25 mph or less. The lakes have plenty of room for kayaking and paddle boarding. Hiking to the top of Stone Mountain was incredible. It only takes about 30-45 minutes to reach the summit, and the views are wonderful. We stayed at the campground and it’s one of our all time favorites. There’s so much to see, we wish we had more time. We highly recommend! Chris G., Google Review,, May 2023 “Love the different rec. areas. Somehow growing up in metro ATL I never realized you could do so much here. That was the case until last month I bought a year long parking pass. Which I have used 3-4 times now. They have a playground. Lake for fishing, kayaking, boating whatever. Campground. Tons of trails to hike or run or bike. Today we hiked to the top of the mountain. Just stunning. Shows and festivities We are going to go to a fest. there next week. It’s just a lot for one place. Great job S.M!” Sarah T, May 2023 “Largest exposed granite rock in the world and they’ve done a great job with events and ease of access, a must visit if you are in town and would like to see nearby nature” Grayson S- Google Review, Feb 2024
