Sope Creek Ruins, Industrial ruins near Paper Mill Road in Cobb County, United States.
The stone walls of Sope Creek Ruins stand along a creek, revealing the remains of a nineteenth-century manufacturing complex with multiple structures.
The Marietta Paper Mills operated at this site from 1855 until 1902, producing paper for the southern states before Union forces burned it during the Civil War.
The ruins represent the industrial heritage of Georgia, demonstrating how early manufacturers used water power from creeks to operate their machinery.
Visitors can access the ruins through a 3.6-mile loop trail that connects to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area trail system.
The remaining stone structures include a 300-foot-long mill building and a two-story pulp-grinding mill that utilized water from an upstream dam.
