Cherokee Trail, Stone Mountain

112 visits logged since August 17, 2024

About five miles around the base of Stone Mountain by the park’s count, rated moderate. The loop passes the Grist Mill, the covered bridge to Indian Island, the railroad crossings and long views over Stone Mountain Lake. My mornings start from the Indian Island lot, walk out to the shoreline for sunrise, then pick up the loop from there, which is how a five-mile trail turns into a seven-mile morning.

Parking. Start from the Indian Island lot beside the covered bridge. A park parking pass is required.
