<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, named for its sheer cliffs of dark-colored biotite gneiss, encompasses some of the most outstanding<br />
country in Georgia’s Blue Ridge <strong>Mountain</strong>s. Located astride the Eastern Continental Divide at an altitude of 3,640 feet, <strong>Black</strong><br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> is the highest state park in Georgia. Numerous scenic overlooks provide spectacular 80-mile vistas of the Southern<br />
Appalachians, and several hiking trails lead visitors past wildflowers, streams, small waterfalls and lush forests. The summit visitor<br />
center and picnic tables are popular with visitors to northeast Georgia.<br />
Activities and Facilities<br />
• Camping — 44 campsites offer water, electrical and basic<br />
cable television hook-ups. The campground has two bathhouses<br />
with hot showers, washer and dryer, and restroom facilities.<br />
There are an additional 12 walk-in campsites located in Hickory<br />
Cove, a short hike from a central parking area. Walk-in sites<br />
have no water or electricity available, but a bathhouse with hot<br />
showers and restroom facilities is provided. One walk-in site<br />
is wheelchair accessible. Campsite reservations are strongly<br />
encouraged. The 7.2-mile James Edmonds Backcountry Trail<br />
leads to four primitive campsites with no facilities provided.<br />
Reservations must be made in advance to use these backcountry<br />
campsites. A log cabin is the central feature of the Camp Tsatu-gi<br />
Pioneer Camping Area which is designated for organized<br />
groups with adult supervision. Two-night minimum stay on<br />
peak weekends.<br />
• Cottages — There are 10 cottages for rent: two three-bedroom<br />
and eight two-bedroom. Reservations are accepted up to 11<br />
months in advance and a one-night deposit is required to hold a<br />
reservation. A two-night minimum is required for reservations<br />
except during the months of June, July and August when there is<br />
a seven-night minimum. Dogs are allowed only in select cottages<br />
with advance reservations. An additional pet fee will apply.<br />
• Picnicking — The park provides three picnic areas and two<br />
covered picnic shelters. Guests are asked to use designated<br />
areas only. Shelters may be reserved 11 months in advance.<br />
• Fishing — <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> offers a 17-acre fishing<br />
lake which is open year-round to all guests. Swimming is<br />
prohibited. Anglers age 16 or older must have a valid resident/<br />
non-resident fishing license. A trout stamp is not required.<br />
The lake’s fish include bass, bream, catfish and trout, and a<br />
wheelchair accessible fishing pier is available for anglers with<br />
special needs.<br />
• Hiking — <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> has an 11-mile trail system,<br />
including the popular 2.2-mile Tennessee <strong>Rock</strong> Trail which<br />
winds its way through some of the park’s highest and lushest<br />
forests. An inexpensive trail guide is available to interpret<br />
various interesting natural features along the trail. The quartermile<br />
Ada-hi Falls Trail drops steeply into a pretty north-facing<br />
Appalachian cove filled with rosebay rhododendron. The<br />
gently rolling <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> Lake Trail includes several bridges<br />
spanning cascading streams and is a perfect hike for beginners.<br />
The park’s newest trail, the 200-yard Norma Campbell Cove<br />
Trail, begins near the Marie Mellinger Center and provides a<br />
relatively steep, but very scenic path into the upper reaches of<br />
a densely-wooded south slope cove.<br />
• Boating — Canoes, kayaks and other small boats are allowed<br />
on <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> Lake. No ramps exist, so boats must be carried<br />
a few yards to the water. Electric trolling motors are ok, but<br />
no gasoline motors of any kind are allowed. Boaters must<br />
remember to have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Personal<br />
Flotation Device for every occupant, and children under 10<br />
must wear their PFD at all times.<br />
