Absolutely stunning views from the 2305 ft summit and at several points along the way. Recommend being somewhat well physically conditioned as the accent is steep & somewhat tedious. I am a runner & pretty fit yet was sore in my legs the next day. On a clear day you can see out about 80 miles from the summit. Beautiful area & wildlife out there!

I've been here a couple of times. It's fun to hike to the summit on a trail that literally includes sections of just stone surfaces. Great views from the summit. We were able to hike from the upper trailhead to the summit and back in a little over an hour. About 3.7 miles. There is also camping here, waterfall hikes, backpack camping and more. It's a nice state park. The Mountains-to-Sea trail also passes through the park.

This has always been one of my favorite day trips. Beautiful scenery and invigorating hikes. If you are planning a trip now, check the website as some of the trails we're damaged and are closed from the storms that came through in October. The trail from the summit to the gravel road is closed and so in the stairs from the top to the bottom of the falls.

Visited for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it! The many dozens of stairs to the waterfall are an amazing workout and the scenery is very nice. Hope to come back soon and do more of the trails!

Great place for camping or a good day hike. For hiking it's best to decide if you want to go over the mountain or see the falls. You can go either way to start, and it loops around to see both. The views on top of the mountain are beautiful. The waterfall it nice to also see but plan on a lot of steps back up.
The camping sites are well maintained, and the bathrooms are in the nicer side of many campgrounds. The electric sites are more open with woods behind which makes it great for groups. They now have access to the campground even after the park closes.
It is one of our favorite locations.response / report this review -

Beautiful Park, designed with camping in mind. The park has camping sites for almost all the varieties of camping, individual, group, RV etc. equipped with Electric/non-electric, handicap accessible ramps, bathrooms, showers etc. The bathrooms are neat and clean and are well maintained. The park staff is friendly. Nice Picnic area.
There are 4 waterfalls in the park, we visited the stone mountain waterfall. It has 200' drop, the hiking trail is moderately difficult. The good thing is you can enter the waterfall waters and play around, which is often restricted in many of the parks. We will definitely recommend anybody thinking to camp at the park.response / report this review -

We love all the state parks in NC and this one did not disappoint! Campsites are clean and well maintained. Park rangers are available to answer questions and give suggestions. They also do educational programs throughout the campground.
The scenery is amazing with well maintained hiking trails and breathtaking views. It is about a 30 minute ride to Elkin for supplies do load up before you hit the campground. Ice and wood are available at the entrance to the campground.response / report this review -

Absolutely gorgeous, especially at the top of Stone Mountain. The view from the top is incredible. There's lots of trails to hike explore. If you love nature you should come here.

I've lived in Charlotte for over 20 years and Stone Mountain is my favorite local hike. It's an easy 1.5 hour drive and the hike is really beautiful. You'll love the big loop, stunning views, and homestead at the bottom of this granite masterpiece.

LOVE this state park! (It's probably in our top 3 NC state parks.) VERY underrated, especially considering it contains waterfalls, hiking trails, a historical homestead Don't miss it if you're in the area!

Beautiful scenery. If you leave from the lower parking lot, it can be easy to get on the wrong trail. We didn't want to go on the trail to the top with the 650 steps up, but the trail sign wasn't clear where to split off for the trail in the valley, so be careful. Otherwise, the park is great. They could use more, cleaner restroom.
Watch out for snakes. We saw a large Copperhead snake in the trail.response / report this review
