  Well marked and easy to follow trails (though quite steep in places). Trails are fairly short and interconnected so you can adjust your distance. Great place for a quick day hike with a solid view from the top. Topography much like that of Stone Mountain though smaller and much less crowded. Clean and well maintained restrooms and picnic areas.

  What a fun place to stop and hike or do some trail running . They have a great area for kids to play. There are several different hiking trails many have lots of roots but they are spray painted so that you don't trip. There is also one trail called the vertical mile that is a granite climb. All trails are extremely well marked. I would highly recommend stopping a visiting, just don't give up before you get to the overlook it's well worth the climb.
