Red Top Mountain

About Red Top Mountain

Named for its iron-rich red soil that supported active mining operations in the mid-1800s, this 1,776-acre park occupies a peninsula in 12,000-acre Lake Allatoona. The Iron Hill Trail passes through historic mining areas along scenic lake shores. The park also preserves Allatoona Pass Battlefield, featuring well-preserved Civil War trenches and earthworks from the 1864 Atlanta Campaign.
