In the midst of a winter that's felt more like spring, Panola Mountain State Park has welcomed a steady stream of visitors who have taken advantage of weekly hikes, and naturalist Amy Snow hopes even more folks venture out to see the beauty of the granite mountain.

Panola's February and early March schedule offers a full slate of Saturday afternoon hikes, along with full moon and sunset hikes, to the top of the mountain, as well as home school science programs, a fly fishing clinic, a bird watching walk and a wilderness survival skill program.

Panola Mountain State Park is located at 2600 Ga. Highway 155 in Stockbridge and features a 100-acre granite mountain only open to the public through organized, ranger-led hikes.
