Stone Mountain State Park

Your Stone Mountain State Park Adventure Awaits


The Ultimate Day Trip Just 25 Minutes from Byrd’s Branch

Hello Campers!
Ready for an unforgettable off-site adventure during your stay at Byrd’s Branch? Stone Mountain State Park is calling—and it’s a must-see for every nature lover, family explorer, and waterfall chaser and it is only 25 minutes from camp.

Why Visit Stone Mountain?

Stone Mountain has something for everyone.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful picnic spot, an energizing hike, or a cool splash under a waterfall, Here’s what you’ll find:

• A 200-foot granite dome rising dramatically from the earth

• Miles of hiking trails through forest, creek beds, and rocky overlooks

• Historic homestead from the 1800s

• Waterfall views and trout streams for cooling off or casting a line


If you like to hike, then you’ll want to take the Stone Mountain Loop Trail (4.5 miles). Here you will catch all the highlights – summit views, waterfall access, and the Hutchinson Homestead. Pack snacks and water—it’s worth every step!
Prefer a lighter adventure? Try the Lower Falls Trail for a shorter trek to a beautiful cascade.

What to Bring:

• Water bottles or a hydration pack

• Trail snacks or a picnic lunch

• Sturdy shoes or hiking sandals

• Swimsuit & towel (for a creek dip!)

• A camera—you’ll want to remember this!
