Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fort Mountain adventure.
This sprawling park has multi-use trails, an ancient fort, and a lakeside beach.
Thickets of blueberries, hardwood forest, streams, and winding pathways characterize Fort Mountain State Park, where some of Georgia's finest scenery create the perfect setting for outdoor adventure. Hike, pedal your bike, or ride horseback along one of the many trails, and keep an eye out for an 855-foot wall believed to have been built as a fortification by Indigenous people. Don't forget to pack swimming gear, as the park’s lake offers the chance to cool off after checking out the trails. The 70-site Fort Mountain State Campground serves tent and RV campers and offers four tent-only, walk-in campsites and six walk-in platform campsites.
Tugaloo State Park is open year-round and is at its most appealing in summer when visitors can enjoy a lake swim to keep cool. On the other hand, the hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails tend to see the most traffic in fall when it’s cooler. Summer temperatures are typically between the high 70s to low 80s, dropping to the 60s in fall and spring and the mid-40s in winter.
