Rocktown

Rocktown, Georgia is the colloquial name for an outcropping of sandstone boulders on the Appalachian Plateau in northwest Georgia. It consists of several acres of large sandstone boulders; the average size is 30 to 40 feet high. Every boulder has its unique features, all with great foot and hand holds, and are very popular with climbers. The area presents challenges for all levels of climbers. There is a one-mile hike from the trailhead to get to the Rocktown area. Most of these boulders are untainted by pollution and graffiti because it is in a remote part of northwest Georgia. However, in recent years as the climbing community has become increasingly aware of the area it has become more common to see trash, human waste, damaged or abandoned climbing gear, and vandalism.
