SITE: The park is located on 3428 acres. 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. .
