If you prefer staying grounded there are 15 miles of wooded nature trails. Take a scenic train ride around the mountain. Other activities include a paddlewheel riverboat cruise on Stone Mountain Lake. Enjoy fishing in the 363-acre lake or tee off on one of two beautiful golf courses. You can explore a 3-story tree house and a 4-story barn and then take a stroll through the shops in Crossroads giving you a sense of 1870s Georgia watching American craftsmen create brilliant works of art right before your eyes.
