Mount Wilkinson, Mountain summit in Cobb County, United States.

Mount Wilkinson rises 1,165 feet above sea level in the Chattahoochee River valley, featuring a combination of forested areas and office towers.

General William T. Sherman observed Atlanta's church spires from this mountain during the Civil War campaign of 1864, marking a strategic military position.

The mountain holds a private cemetery containing the remains of Hardy Pace, an influential founder of the neighboring community of Vinings.

Multiple trails lead to the summit through Mount Wilkinson Parkway Southeast, providing access points for visitors interested in exploring the natural area.

The Atlanta Rotary Club funded half of the mountain's $5,000 acquisition cost, leading to its development as the original Bert Adams Scout Camp.
