Rock Eagle Mound is one of Georgia’s six ancient Indian Mounds. We had already visited the big three: Etowah, Kolomoki, and Ocmulgee Mounds. This mound is unique in that it is an effigy – a massive pile of rocks in the shape of a bird. Though called Rock Eagle, many scholars believe the bird represented is actually a buzzard or vulture – birds of significance in early Native American beliefs about death.
The mound is located just north of Eatonton, GA.
We walked up to the tower at the base of the effigy to get a better look. The eagle is so huge that from the ground it really looks like a shapeless pile of rocks. It’s only when you get up high that you can see the impressive figure. Making it even more impressive is when you realize it was built 1000-3000 years ago by men & women dragging these thousands of rocks in from miles away on deer skins.
Love this place. Maybe need to consider bringing a restaurant to the campus.
Great place for retreats and meetings. Would get a 5 star rating if its Wi-Fi happened to be more reliable.
The cabins were really nice and everything was fine. Some of the food was a little undercooked sometimes like the bacon and the sweet tea is reaaaally sweet, but overall this place was awesome!

we had such a good time we had grate food , Nice leaders , the stories OH don't even get me started . GO CHEROKEES
The facilities are great and grounds crew are top notch! The older cabins are older cabins, but the new ones (about half of the cabins available) are super nice!
I'm a 4Her myself and this year as a blue string was amazing, the zip-line, climbing wall, and swing shot was probs the coolest thing I've done all summer! And I went to Disney World a week before camp. I hope to come back next year
The place is great. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the state leadership marginalizing 4-h activities to make way for "paying guests."
Helpful staff and instructors. Quite and safe place. Cabin accommodations are clean and comfortable.
I love spending time with my friend people are so cool, my life is complete shout out to Lidicky Ball my idol this is a WOW facility thanks God!
We go here for their Sunday lunch which they have during the Spring and Fall. They have the best fried chicken I have ever eaten plus much more. I can't wait for them to get started again. Nice place to meet friends for lunch.
