Old Stone Fort
The Old Stone Fort is a 2000 year-old American Indian ceremonial site. It consists of mounds and walls that combine with cliffs and rivers to form an enclosure measuring 1-1/4 miles around. The 50-acre hilltop enclosure moundsite is believed to have served as a central ceremonial gathering place for some 500 years.

Several foot trails explore the Old Stone Fort enclosure and Duck River area. The trail around the perimeter of the ancient enclosure is 1-1/4 miles in length. The forks of the Duck River drop over numerous water falls to each side of the Old Stone Fort. There are 2 miles of developed trails beyond the main interpretive trail.

I've camped here twice.  The first time was early spring 2004 and Canadian Geese used the Duck River as their landing pad (even at 3 in the morning). But I think they were merely on their way home from soaking in the rays in Florida during the winter months.  The second was late summer and the park was green and beatiful.
