About Fort Mountain
Named for a mysterious 885-foot-long ancient stone wall of unknown origin atop its 2,850-foot summit, this 3,712-acre park intrigues visitors with Cherokee legends of "moon-eyed people." Archaeological estimates suggest the wall was built between 500-1500 CE. The park offers 14 miles of trails, an 18-acre lake for swimming, dramatic overlooks, and diverse mountain ecosystems.
