Trails

Stone Mountain is host to over 10 miles of maintained hiking trails that span a variety of habitats including granite outcrops, mixed hardwood forests, and lake edge. Hike to the top of the mountain on our most strenuous trail or take a stroll on the easiest, the Songbird Habitat Trail or any level of difficulty in between. The park also offers 8 miles of sidewalks for joggers and walkers. 

Do your part to conserve this amazing natural resource in Metro-Atlanta. Please recreate responsibly and practice Leave No Trace (LNT) principles when hiking on all trails at Stone Mountain Park. When traveling on exposed portions of the mountain, avoid stepping on soils, lichens, and plants by staying on the trail and stepping on solid rock only.

There are 8 Connector Trail locations, that when taken, will connect to other trails, either adding or shortening distances on loop trails or connecting two different trails. Use Connector Trails from Confederate Hall to avoid the slippery sections of the Cherokee Trail over the mountain.

These trails range from ¼ mile – 1 mile with Orange Rectangular Blazes.
