Panola Mountain State Park
Panola Mountain State Park
This state park was created to protect a 100-acre granite monadnock (mountain)
often compared to Stone Mountain near Atlanta. Minimally developed, Panola Mountain
shelters rare plants and animals of the Piedmont region. Visitors may explore nature on
their own or they may join park staff for nature programs and guided hikes into the
conservation area. Due to its delicate ecological features, Panola Mountain was designated
a National Natural Landmark.
