Iron Hill trail at Red Top Mountain is a beautiful trail that mostly follows the shores of Lake Allatoona, so there will be plenty of awesome scenery and many photo opportunities. Iron Hill Trail is a fairly flat 4 mile trail and an excellent hike for beginners. This hike will leave from the Iron Hill Trail parking lot (not the Visitor's Center, but just down the street) and is the blue trail. Info: This scenic loop trail
winds along the banks of Lake Allatoona through a historic area that once
was home to an active iron mining community in the mid 1800s. Atlanta
Trails says: This scenic adventure explores the meandering shoreline of
Lake Allatoona on the southern end of Red Top Mountain State Park in
North Georgia. And though it’s around half of the distance compared to the
popular Homestead Loop at Red Top Mountain, the Iron Hill Loop packs
easily double the scenic lakeside beauty in a fraction of the length. It’s a
view- packed trail, catching view after stunning lake view throughout the
hike. There are no restrooms at this trailhead. You can stop at the Visitors Center on your way in (it's mentioned in the directions below). | |||||||
