Panola Mountain State Park is a National Natural Landmark located within the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area, one of three National Heritage Areas within the state of Georgia. The park, which is located a mere 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, is a favorite spot for outdoor recreational activities for visitors of all ages, known for its unique natural beauty and geographic features. It is anchored around its 100-acre granite monadnock formation, which rises 946 feet above sea level and offers panoramic views of the South River. Park visitors can enjoy opportunities for archery, birdwatching, tree climbing, and geocaching or participate in ranger-led nature hikes educating participants on the region's unique native species. A paved multi-use trail is open to walkers, bikers, and dog walkers, while several forested fitness trails are open to hikers and runners.
