| State Park Overview: |
 | Black Rock Mountain State Park, named for its sheer cliffs of dark-colored biotite gneiss, encompasses some of the most outstanding country in Georgia?s Blue Ridge Mountains. Located astride the Eastern Continental Divide at an altitude of 3,640 feet, Black Rock Mountain is the highest state park in Georgia. Numerous scenic overlooks provide spectacular 80-mile vistas of the Southern Appalachians, and several hiking trails lead visitors past wildflowers, cascading streams, small waterfalls and lush forests. The summit visitor center and picnic tables are popular with travelers in northeast Georgia. |

relaxing in the shade
Black rock mountain state park is a nice getawy from the heat. It is typically 20 degrees cooler than the middle georgia area. It was 75 degrees @ 2:30 pm on 7/26/08. The park is on top of a mountain and has a 2 mile steep climb to get there. The road is steep with curves so just take your time. The park is very clean with showers. The sites have elec and water. The sites are fairly close together. There are several lookout points with benches. It is a nice place to go to get away from the heat and just relax. The town is a few miles away with anything you may have forgotten. Plenty of resturants and a walmart.
