Need to Know

The Boy Scouts of America, Silver Comet, Foothills, and Appalachian Trail Districts have adopted the state park as stewards of the park, and each promotes Leave No Trace principals in various ways throughout the park.

Description

This scenic paved loop features a blacksmith shop and an old pioneer cabin where bluegrass bands play on summer nights. The trail passes a children's play area featuring tepees and other musical entertainment for the kids. This is a great way to pass the time with the kids. The area has many activities over the year please check out the Georgia State Parks website for more information on Red Top Mountain State Park.
