About the Business
Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, located at 3787 Klondike Road in Stonecrest, Georgia, is a stunning park and tourist attraction that showcases the unique landscape of Arabia Mountain. Celebrating 50 years of stone in 2022, the preserve is part of the 2,550-acre DeKalb County greenspace donated by the Davidson family in 1972.
Visitors to the preserve can explore the monadnock known as Arabia Mountain, as well as other exposed granite formations, wetlands, pine and oak forests, streams, and lakes. The area is home to rare native plant species, including the signature red diamorpha in winter and yellow daisies in fall, creating a constantly changing and beautiful environment.
While the preserve is a natural wonder, it also bears evidence of human influence, with remnants of quarrying activities scattered throughout the park. Visitors are encouraged to respect the environment and leave no trace behind, especially avoiding impacting the solution pits where delicate flowers grow.
During the pandemic, parking at the preserve has been crowded, so visitors are advised to plan ahead. By staying on the bare granite and respecting the natural environment, everyone can enjoy the beauty of Arabia Mountain and its diverse plant life. Learn more about the preserve and its conservation efforts on their website.

Reviews
"Peace and tranquility!...this place is amazing!..Ranger Robby gives great tours and tips. I feel safe hiking or walking the trails alone. Lots to explore."
"Well maintained walking trails. Super unique stone features. Edit, I started riding again. I like how well maintained the trails are. The mixes of up and down hills is exciting, and the landscape is awesome! Everyone on the trails are super kind. A great day ride!"
"One of my favorite places to hike. This park has a diversity of terrain and trails that are not commonly seen at a park. You can walk paved roads or hike off trail. You can walk next to a lake, or hike up rocky terrain, or walk through a forest. I love it. Check out some of my pictures"
"Plenty of parking, paved paths for walking and biking. I parked here to hike the mountain 2.5 miles each way. Take the paved path to the left, cross the road at crossing and follow the boardwalk to the AWARE Wildlife Center (has parking but filled quickly) cool points for the water bottle filling station. I climbed straight path, came down the opposite side and followed the blue path along the lake. Bring and drink plenty of water. Should try to do an early or evening hike, you will hurt if you choose middle of the day. Please keep this place clean for everyone, enjoy!"
