Panola Mountain

Panola Mountain

Panola Mountain is a 100 acre (400,000 m²) granite monadnock near Stockbridge on the boundary between Henry County, Georgia and Rockdale County, Georgia. The peak is 940 feet (287 m) above sea level, rising 260 feet (80 m) above the South River. The South River marks the boundary between Henry/Rockdale Counties and DeKalb County, Georgia. Due to its delicate ecological features, Panola Mountain was designated a National Natural Landmark.

tate park

Panola Mountain State Park was created to protect the mountain, a smaller and pristine version of Stone Mountain. Minimally developed, Panola Mountain shelters rare plants of the piedmont region. Hikers may explore the parks watershed and granite outcrop on their own, or they may join park staff for guided hikes onto the restricted-access mountain. Guides also offer hikes to a similar monadnock, Arabia Mountain. The interpretive center features animal exhibits for children. Pets and bicycles are not allowed on trails.
