| State Parks, Mountains and Forests A short 1 mile hike, is an easy visit for the old ancient stone wall and the views. From the trailhead, follow the yellow blazed trail to the right, counterclockwise. The hike first passes through forest then climbs towards the mountain's tower. After a visit to the old tower, follow the red blazed trail, back across the loop trail, to a nice western view above Chatsworth. The domed courthouse, on its squared green can easily be indentified from here. Returning from this overlook, take a right turn onto another red blazed trail to join back up with the yellow blazed loop trail. The hike then leads shortly to the blue blazed wall trail on the left. This trail follows the old wall halfway to a couple of plaques explaining theories regarding the wall. The blue blazed trail then continues along the ancient wall to the end at a trail sign with a double blaze. Backtracking to the yellow blazed loop trail, turn left to decend back to the trailhead parking lot. To reach Fort Mountain State Park from Ellijay travel Hwy 52 west about 20 miles to the park's entrance on the right. At the park, the Visitors Center is to the right near the entrance, and the parking lot for the trailhead, is at the end of the main park road. The trailhead is on the right.
