  Lots of hiking options (short to long, mountain to lake), great scenery and the mystery of the stone walls. A must see State Park in Georgia!

  This is a easy park to find. while the walk to the viewing deck is not considered easy, I wouldn't say it's strenuous. There were several families visiting and that's always nice to see. You won't find a better view other than Lookout Mtn. We really enjoyed our visit

  Camping - the facilities were very nice and the bath houses were very clean, they were small but there were multiple in the campground. The grade in combination with gravel made it difficult for some vehicles pulling camper trailers. Our FWD sedan had issues at times pulling into our camp site. ADA compliant.Hiking - OMG! I have lived all my life in Georgia, not to terribly far from this park, and did not know it existed. These were some of the MOST AMAZING views from the side of the mountain. I've been to the Grand Canyon...I was more impressed with this. The Cool Springs Overlook is ADA Compliant with a NICE new observation deck with a paved path.We did not get see everything, so we are looking forward to the next trip!

  We stayed here in Oct. the park is beautiful, maintained, and well situated. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. the honest part of the stay, is the cabin was a bit "musky" old smelling, but nothing a can of Lysol didn't help. It was well stocked and clean. It is one of the most beautiful,parks we have been to! Will go back.

  I visited recently with friends. We enjoyed the hike to the CCC-built fire tower - even if the tower wasn't accessible because of repair work. The mysterious rock wall is very interesting. It was fun to speculate who built the wall and why. And of course, the fall color was beautiful! I'll definitely be back.

  Great park! BUT GA State Parks needs to get w/ it n let people reserve actual sites so people can guarantee that they can get sites beside friends/family... Swimming section needs to be enlarged. It was packed in the water n on the beach. Good news: nicest restrooms, nice trails, and Ranger Bob tours! The Stone Wall is very interesting! Study up before you go n share w/ children!

  We came here for a day visit in September 2014. There is so much to do here! Hiking trails, putt-putt, a nice swimming area, picnic area, and a fishing lake. I definitely recommend the hike to the old stone fire tower and rock wall. The hike is not too strenuous and the views are amazing. Pack a picnic and spend a day here! There also spacious campsites and nice cottages if you want to stay longer!

  We just returned from a trip to Ft. Mountain State Park in North Georgia. The facilities were clean, well kept and the staff were friendly and informative. What a beautiful place to camp. Much to do if you are an active hiker or mountain biker, or if not a great place to just sit by the campfire. There are miles of hiking and biking trails encompassing the 3,000+ acre park, from easy to more difficult. Though the "difficult" wasn't that bad, the view was amazing and well worth the hike. If you are a history buff (or not) the stone wall left you wondering who DID create it, if only the stones could talk. Easy to find off of 52 it is located between Chatsworth and Ellijah. We will return! Speaking of Ellijah, quaint little town to visit. Be sure and go to the olive oil/vinegar store if you love to cook...

  I love this State Park. There are really nice trails several which lead to viewing areas with that overlook the mountain range or the city of Chatsworth. You can swim in the lake on top of the mountain but the water is usually a little chilly or you can rent a paddle boat in summer. There are campgrounds and picnic shelters for rent along with plenty of free to use (after the $5 parking fee of course) picnic tables and grills. There is also a nice trail around the lake that is fun to walk and less strenuous that those to the observation areas. The most hiked trail out to the stone wall and the fire tower is well maintained but does have some steps and hills. The fire tower is really neat to see and the stone wall is very interesting because its not fully know who built it or why.
