Black Rock Mountain State Park

Black Rock Mountain spans 1,743 acres across the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring steep cliffs, dense forests, and multiple peaks reaching elevations over 3,000 feet.

The park establishment began in 1938 when John V. Arrendale purchased 70 acres of land, leading to its official opening as a state park in 1952.

The Marie Mellinger Center, completed in 2010, serves as a hub for educational programs, nature presentations, and traditional country music performances throughout the year.

The park maintains 44 campsites with utility connections, 10 mountain cottages, multiple hiking trails, and a 17-acre lake equipped for fishing and small watercraft.

From the park's overlooks at 3,640 feet elevation, visitors can observe four states: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee on clear days.
