Welcome to Fort Mountain!

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 and mountain bikers will find some of the most beautiful trails in northern Georgia.

During the summer, children will enjoy the sand beach located on a clear mountain lake.
