Laurel Ridge Interpretive Trail

Laurel Ridge Interpretive Trail is a short but educational 0.4-mile loop in Murray County, Georgia’s Fort Mountain State Park. This easy, family-friendly trail features interpretive signs that explain the natural and cultural history of the area, including information about the park’s mysterious ancient stone wall believed to have been built by Native Americans. The path winds through a forest of mountain laurels, rhododendrons, and mixed hardwoods, offering beautiful scenery throughout the year. Spring brings spectacular mountain laurel blooms, while fall transforms the forest with vibrant colors. The trail is well-maintained with a gentle grade, making it accessible for visitors of all ages and abilities. Benches along the way provide opportunities to rest and observe the diverse wildlife that calls this area home.
