Fort Mountain Park
Fort Mountain derives its name from an ancient 855-foot-long
rock wall which stands on the highest point of the mountain. The
mysterious wall is said to have been built by Indians as a
fortification against other more hostile Indians or for ancient
ceremonies. Situated in the Chattahoochee National Forest
close to the Cohutta Wilderness area, this park offers a variety
of outdoor activities for all to enjoy. Hikers will find some of the
most beautiful trails in Georgia. Most wind through hardwood
forest and blueberry thickets, occasionally crossing streams
and providing spectacular vistas. During the summer, children
will enjoy the sand beach located on a clear mountain lake.
