Stone Mountain located in Gwinnett County in Georgia is one of my favorite historical landmarks in the South. The mountain is more than five miles in circumference and offers a great view of the Atlanta skyline, Kennesaw Mountain, and sometimes the Appalachian Mountains. Tourists can reach the top of the mountain by the walk-up trail or by skyride. The carving on the mountain depicts three Confederate leaders of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (and their horses, "Blackjack", "Traveller", and "Old Sorrel".
Stone Mountain park is Georgia's most popular attraction with activities including tennis, river boats, pedal boats, hiking, boating, fishing, golfing, and bicycling. One of the most popular attractions is the laser show on the lawn with special effects and music. Families arrive early in the day to get good seats, picnic, and play on the lawn. Stone Mountain also offers museums and The Crossroads, which is a simulation of a town in the 1870's with everything from candy making to glass blowing. Stone Mountain's newest attraction and one of my personal favorites is Snow Mountain. Stone Mountain Park's Laser Lawn is transformed into a seasonal family snow park, featuring a 400-foot tubing hill and a 30,000 square foot play area in snow at least two feet deep. Because snow in Georgia is very rare and two feet of snow is almost impossible, snow mountain is fun for all ages and it is local and convenient. Stone Mountain is a popular tourist attraction and has entertainment for the whole family.
