NOTICE: One comfort station in Black Rock Mountain's camping area is currently open, and hot showers and flush toilets are once again available.

The water supply to the park's rental cottages is currently adequate, however, all cottage and campground guests are requested to be mindful of the state's drought conditions and conserve water at every opportunity.
Black Rock Mountain State Park, named for its sheer cliffs of dark-colored biotite gneiss, encompasses some of the most outstanding country in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Located astride the Eastern Continental Divide at an altitude of 3,640 feet, Black Rock Mountain is the highest state park in Georgia. Numerous scenic overlooks provide spectacular 80-mile vistas of the Southern Appalachians, and several hiking trails lead visitors past wildflowers, cascading streams, small waterfalls and lush forests. The summit visitor center and picnic tables are popular with travelers in northeast Georgia.
Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
