Stone Mountain State Park is a North Carolina state park in Alleghany and Wilkes Counties, North Carolina in the United States. Located near Roaring Gap, North Carolina, it covers 13,747 acres (56 km²). The centerpiece of the park is Stone Mountain, a dome of exposed granite which rises sharply over 600 feet (183 meters) above the surrounding terrain. The mountain, which has an elevation of 2,305 feet (706 m) above sea level, is known for its barren sides and distinctive brown-gray color, and can be seen for miles. The mountain offers some of the best rock climbing in North Carolina, and the park's creeks and streams feature excellent brook trout fishing.
