Located just 30 minutes north east of Atlanta, Stone Mountain Park is a great place to visit. Use it as a destination vacation or as a base to explore Atlanta.The park covers 583 acres. Its centerpiece is a solid granite mountain 825 feet tall that towers over the surrounding area 1,683 feet above sea level. On the face is the Memorial Carving which depicts three Confederate heroes of the Civil War: Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The carving measures three acres, larger than a football field and towers 400 feet above the ground and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain.
Besides the carving and the mountain, the park offers plenty to see and do including hiking trails, an aerial tram to the top, a train the circles the mountain, laser light shows in summer, shops, an Antebellum Plantation and Farmyard and much more.
