Black Rock Mountain State Park is a 1,743-acre (705 ha) Georgia, United States, state park west of Mountain City in Rabun County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is named after its sheer cliffs of dark-colored biotite gneiss. Astride the Eastern Continental Divide at an elevation of 3,640 feet (1,110 m), the park provides many scenic overlooks and 80-mile (130 km) vistas of the southern Appalachian Mountains. On a clear day, four states are visible: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In addition to Black Rock Mountain itself, the park includes four other peaks over 3,000 feet (910 m) in elevation, making it the state's highest state park. As of 2019, it was open to visitors year round.Plan your Black Rock Mountain State Park visit and explore what else you can see and do in Mountain City using our Mountain City trip itinerary planning website.

Great state park high in the mountains. The road to the park is curvy. We had beautiful fall colors. There is a nice visitor center and gift shop. There are many different trails. Most of them...

Beautiful campground and state park! Our site was nice and shady. Just be warned, you will have to walk uphill to get to your site if you aren't near the bottom. Not a big hill, but it's uphill, none the less. Beautiful views were everywhere! The hiking trails are also pretty steep, but nothing too bad if you are a seasoned hiker.

Beautiful lookout spot. I got some pretty good pictures (attached) while there, but I can imagine sunset looks amazing there. The walk around the lake is perfect for an easy stroll, as the trail is pretty level and well kept. Wish I found a good spot to set up a hammock!
