Rocktown, Georgia is a free face rock climbing area. It consists of an outcropping of sandstone boulders on the Appalachian Plateau in northwest Georgia. It comprises several acres of large sandstone boulders; the average size is high. Every boulder has its own unique features, all with great foot and hand holds and very popular with climbers. The area presents challenges for all levels of climbers. There is a one mile hike from the trail head to get to the Rocktown area. Most of these boulders have been untainted by pollution and graffiti because it is in a remote part of northwest Georgia. Because it is located in a wildlife management area, it is possible to encounter wild animals in this area, including both venomous and non-venomous snakes, bobcats, deer, wild turkeys, black bears and wild hogs. When climbing and exploring the boulders, caves and grottoes it is common to encounter wasps, yellow-jackets and spiders and even the occasional bat.
The Rocktown trail and area is closed annually during firearms deer hunts. Specific dates are available in the current hunting seasons and regulations book available at www.georgiawildlife.com.
