Stone Mountain Park - Georgia's Most Popular Attraction

Enjoy the great outdoors by foot, by boat, by duck (yes, by duck,) in the snow and more. Some of the popular outdoor attractions and recreational facilities include:

Summit Skyride - Transporting visitors to the top of the mountain, this popular high-speed Swiss cable car offers panoramic views on clear days of the Atlanta skyline and the Appalachian Mountains beyond. It also provides a great view of the Confederate Memorial Carving - See photo on page 1.

Hiking - There are 15 miles of hiking and walking nature trails through wooded areas and on the slope of the mountain. The 1.3 Walk-Up Trail leads to the top of the mountain, while the six-mile historic Cherokee Trail winds along the base of the mountain. Other trails connect to a Nature Garden and the Songbird Habitat as well as to the picturesque century-old Covered bridge and Grist Mill areas.

Paddlewheel Riverboat - Enjoy a 20-minute cruise on a riverboat named (what else?) the Scarlett O’Hara.

Pedal Boats - Head for the Riverboat Marina Complex and enjoy the lake by pedal boat.

Ride The Ducks - Tour land and lake in 1940's Army DUKWs that have been converted into comfortable open-air amphibious vehicles.

Golf Courses - Two championship courses, Stonemont and Lakemont, meander through a Georgia pine forest and around Stone Mountain Lake. There is also a 36-hole mini-golf course.

Tennis Center - The premier tennis facility features 16 hard lighted outdoor courts, and an 8,200-seat permanent stadium court.

Waterslide Complex - Across the lake from the other attractions, the Waterslide Complex offers two inner tube slides and two enclosed body flume slides.

Fishing - Fishing is permitted in the 363-acre lake from 6 a.m. until midnight with a valid fishing license.

Winter Tubing - Fun in the snow at Snow Mountain.
