The winding road to the park entrance is picturesque. Just past the rolling hills dotted with hay bales sits a whitewashed one-room church building. Down the road, the dilapidated exterior of the Stone Mountain general store reflects years of service to the community. From here, Stone Mountain itself remains hidden, prompting visitors to continue past the gates. Inside the park gates, the visitor center doubles as the park's office and a small, but comprehensive, museum of life in the foothills.
Visitors can see a loom and a moonshine still.
A wall exhibit features family photos, medicine bottles and tools dating to the early 1900s. Other displays include a quilted wall hanging, a handmade fiddle, and an aquarium that is home to a brook trout, the only kind of trout native to the area. In the center of the room, a stuffed black bear serves as a reminder that a natural playground has dangers of its own. The park also offers tent and trailer campsites with grills and tables. Backpack camping sites are available, too.
