Inside Stone Mountain Park is this SkyHike. Climb to new heights on one of the nation’s largest family adventure courses! No two hikes are the same. Choose your path and challenge yourself while secured to the patented overhead safety system. Explore the quarter of a mile course while mastering suspended wooden bridges and other obstacles. Leap from one wooden slat to another. Balance on a single rope high above the ground, or climb to the top on vertical net bridges.
You have control of your trek as you pick from a 12-foot high trail for beginners, a 24-foot high trail for those who are somewhat courageous, and the super challenge trail at nearly 40 feet (or 4 stories) up in the air!

This is our favorite spot to eat. If you like fried blue crab then this is a must visit, they are not stingy like most other buffets. Most people comply with masks and gloves when not eating. In my opinion this is the best Buffet for the money in the area.

OK if you like Soul Food then this is the spot. Their food is way above average and is the best Soul Food I've had in ATL. Not so great for dinning in but worth the trip if you don't mind bringing it home.
