| Rocktown, Pigeon Mountain Page
The Facts:
This 150 acre area atop Pigeon Mountain in northwest Georgia contains massive boulders, some as large as a three story office building. There are plenty of cracks and crevices to explore as well as interesting pedestal formations. Access to this area is via a rough dirt road, vehicles with low ground clearance may have problems. Rocktown is easily reached by a short hike, suitable for those of nearly any age or physical condition.
Directions:
From US 27 in LaFayette, go west 2.8 mi. on Ga 193 to Chamberlain Road. Turn left and go 3.4 mi.; turn right (at the Crockford-Pigeon Mountain WMA sign). Pass the Department of Natural Resources check station and continue on the gravel road. This will wind its way up to the top of Pigeon Mountain. Go about 5.5 mi. on this road and turn left. There is a sign which reads "Rock Town" although you have to look closely for it. Road ends after .7 mi. at the trailhead. A very easy one mi. trail leads to the boulders.
