The Visitors Center is powered by SOLAR! Walk behind the building (towards trails) and look up at the roof.

There is different levels of hiking for those who want an easy walk and those who want more of a work out. Sometimes you can see the deer that live in the park!

Nice park and PLENTY of trail. Best gps tag where you park just in case! And beware of closing hours so your vehicle isn't locked in.
Heather JenkinsSeptember 29, 2015
Trails, open fields, scenic views. Kennesaw mountain has it all. Great national park right here in the Atlanta area.
Brandon WilliamsonJanuary 7, 2016
The view from the top of the mountain is amazing on a clear day...you can see all the way to downtown ATL!

Looking for a challenge? Hike up this mountain. Want a bigger challenge? Run up the paved road to the top! Don't forget to run the stairs at the very top!

Great escape from the city with tons of hiking trails and gorgeous views. Take advantage of the educational opportunities and watch a Civil War reenactment.

We went and inside the visitor center there is an museum

Great place for a not-too-strenuous hike...and outstanding views to downtown ATL and beyond from the top.

There is a shuttle bus on the weekends that is great! $2 for adult $1 for kids. 5 and under are free :)

If you are able, take the trail down the backside of Little Kennesaw Mt. and back around. The view was beautiful.
Marty SandersJanuary 3, 2014
Great historical location for a great urban hike.
Drew ManciniDecember 1, 2017
On busy weekends, don't even bother with the main lots. Go straight to the overflow lot on old 41.

Go when it's not hot and in groups, pack water and snacks and wear hiking shoes
Justine GouveaJuly 22, 2012
Not your average "walk in the park". It's a great exercise with a breathtaking view. Not to mention the interesting history.

So much Civil War history here... and numerous hiking trails to enjoy as well!

Dates from 1917, with the federal acquisition of sixty acres of the battlefield surrounding Cheatham's Hill, the battle in June 1864 marks some of the heaviest fighting of the Atlanta campaign.
Max Muscle CobbNovember 18, 2011
For a higher-resistance workout and a bigger burn, add a heavier backpack for your hikes up this mountain!
Levi FiteJuly 31, 2010
an amazing, tranquil, colorful, beautiful, breath taking, piece of georgia (north atlanta), that you absolutely should visit...guaranteed an amazing experience
Benjamin ChapmanJanuary 26, 2010
Climb to the top of Big Kenn. and take the (not so well) marked path to the right. Sit out on a sunny day and look out towards Rome, GA

Friend was missing after hours, the ranger moved in slow motion spending more time giving warnings than getting me to a phone so I could call and make sure she was OK. Dick.

Don't wear sandals if you are going to walk up the trail. D'oh!

Gotta do the hike to the top. It can be a bit of a struggle if you aren't used to climbing but the views are amazing.

In late Feb, smell the Jasmine on the trail. "Scent-sational". And pack a water bottle.

When I run here, I feel like I'm in the Hunger Games. I half expect a wall of fire to come out of nowhere.
