Fort Mountain State Park, State heritage park in Chatsworth, US.
Fort Mountain State Park covers 3,712 acres of land between Chatsworth and Ellijay, featuring hardwood forests, mountain trails, and a 17-acre mountain lake.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed numerous facilities in the 1930s, including a stone fire tower, lake infrastructure, trails, and several park buildings.
The ancient 885-foot rock wall at the mountain peak contains pits and gateway ruins, potentially built by Native Americans around 500 AD for religious ceremonies.
The park maintains over 25 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking, plus 70 camping sites for tents, trailers, and RVs with additional platform options.
Native Cherokee legends connect the mysterious stone wall to tales of moon-eyed people, while others attribute its construction to Welsh explorer Madoc.
