Fort Mountain State Park

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fort Mountain State Park is a 3,712 acre (15.02 km ) Georgia state park located between Chatsworth and Ellijay on Fort Mountain. The mountain is named for an ancient 885 foot (269.48 m) long rock wall located on the peak. The wall is thought to have been built by area Native Americans either for defense or for ancient ceremonies. The informational plaques located around the park also suggest the possibility that the rock wall was constructed by the legendary Welsh explorer, Prince Madoc sometime after his alleged arrival in North America in 1170. Situated in the Chattahoochee National Forest, the park offers many outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The park is also known for its unique scenery, a mixture of both hardwood and pine forests and several blueberry thickets. In addition, the park contains a 17 acre (0.07 km ) mountain lake. Atop Fort Mountain itself is a tower constructed by members of the Civilian_Conservation_Corps. The picnic shelters in the park and the trails to the rock wall were also constructed by the CCC.
