Fort Mountain State 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 thought to have been built by Indians as
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.
Hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders will find some of the most
beautiful trails in northern Georgia.
