No open fires at all state parks due to statewide burn ban
Effective 5 p.m. on Monday, November 29, the North Carolina Forest Service is implementing a burn ban statewide. While the burn ban is in effect, open flame wood and/or charcoal fires are prohibited at state parks, including all campsites. Campers may continue to use stoves with closed fuel canisters. This alert will be removed when the burn ban is no longer in effect. Posted on: Monday, November 29, 2021 - 3:35pm |
Home
Stone Mountain State Park now routinely reaches capacity by 10 a.m. on weekends. Once parking areas are full, the park will be closed to all incoming traffic. Weekdays are the best time to visit. If you must visit on a weekend, plan to arrive early in the morning, and be prepared with a backup plan if the park is full when you arrive. Keep in mind gate hours, which are posted at entrances. Currently, the park is open from 7am to 6pm daily. The only exception is Christmas Day, when all park facilities are closed.

Stone Mountain State Park
The massive granite dome at Stone Mountain State Park keeps watch on park visitors enjoying nearly every type of outdoor activity – camping, hiking, climbing, fishing, picnicking, horseback riding and more. There are more than 18 miles of trails, matched by more than 20 miles of designated trout waters in this park that spreads below the Blue Ridge Parkway. A campground offers 90 sites, some with utility hookups, and group and backpacking campsites are nearby. Rock climbing is allowed by permit on the towering, 600-foot granite face of the landmark mountain, and climbers look down on Hutchinson Homestead, a restored mid-19th century mountain farm. Expansive picnic grounds with shelters invite reunions and community gatherings.
