Little Kennesaw Mountain, Mountain summit in Marietta, United States.
Little Kennesaw Mountain is a summit near Atlanta that rises about 1,800 feet above sea level. It forms part of a larger ridge system in the region and today offers trails and overlooks for visitors to explore.
The mountain served as a defensive position for Confederate forces in 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign. Soldiers built fortifications to block Union Army advances toward the city.
The mountain is marked by fortifications and monuments that recall Civil War battles. Visitors can explore preserved earthworks and trenches that reveal how soldiers positioned themselves on the slopes.
The summit is reachable by hiking trails or shuttle service on weekends. Most visitors spend one to two hours walking the main route to reach the overlook areas.
The mountain serves as an important stopover for migrating birds in spring and fall. Many warbler species and woodpeckers use the forested slopes to rest during their journeys.
