Have been to many Civil War National Park sites. Sadly, this one was a little disappointing. The NPS auto tour is a mess; it often leads you past where you need to park, etc. The few cannons on the battlefield are in a sorry state. The film in the visitors center is very well done however and there is a nice little museum as well. Parking is often a problem.

Crowded, especially on weekends, and hard to find parking. Cyclists and cars speeding down the paved roadway are unnerving, if not dangerous. People allow their dogs to go off lead and nobody stops them. It has lost its charm, and there has been a change in staff and operating hours, which seem to vary without notice. Mondays are runner's club days, and parking on site is nearly impossible until close to the time the gate closes. Was a great experience a few years back.

The family and I visited the battlefield, visitor center, and then drove up to the look out area. We then walked up the line of the Confederate cannon emplacements. All I can say is that I wish we were not just passing by! First off the grounds are very well maintained. There is a nice picnic area and hiking trails. We really wished we could have hiked and stayed longer but we were just passing through. We certainly plan on stopping in again and staying longer! The visitor center was great as was the gift shop.

My family and I visited Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park on our recent visit to Georgia. This park is a very interesting mix of history and nature. There are some very nice hiking trails in the hills north of Atlanta as well as historical markers concerning the battle at Kennesaw Mountain.
We started at the visitor center and especially enjoyed the well-made film that explains the battle. It was sobering to thinking so many men lost their lives in the beautiful area. The historical artifacts were also quite interesting in the museum area of the visitor center. Do note that there is a $5 charge to park at the National Battlefield. I paid the fee inside the visitor center.
We drove and walked some of the battlefield. If you like history this is a very interesting place. I highly recommend a visit.

Really needed a few more hours to fully do some hiking to specific attractions- have a bad knee so we chose the self guided car tour and although very cool, we were kinda short at each stop bc I just couldn’t explore by foot. This place is beautifully eerie once you immerse yourself in its history.
Best time to go is during the week and most definitely in the fall when the leaves are changing. Some views from the top of Kennesaw Mountain are gorgeous. On a good day you can see downtown ATL and Stone Mountain to the East. Good video in the visitor center and access to everything is $5. Will be back when ambulatory. 👍🏼

I'm a Civil War buff. I have visited the battlefield at Gettysburg on 10 occasions. Manassas, Antietam, Vicksburg and Appomattox are favorite destinations, too. For some reason, I've never devoted much time to the Atlanta campaign. But I decided to do some catching up during our most recent trip south. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park was on my itinerary. The key to General William Tecumseh Sherman's assault on Atlanta, it was deemed a Confederate victory but General Joseph E. Johnston's army retired and Sherman went on to capture Atlanta, then conduct his famous march to Savannah. Located at 900 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, off I-75, between Kennesaw and Marietta, Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park covers 2,923 acres and includes three battlefield areas: in front of the Visitor Center, off Burnt Hickory Road and a major site at Cheatham Hill, commonly known as the Dead Angle. Curiously, much of the battle took place not on 1,808-foot-tall Kennesaw Mountain itself but on a spur of Little Kennesaw Mountain known today as Pigeon Hill and the area to its south around Cheatham Hill. At the south tip of the park, Peter Valentine Kolb's farm house, where a minor skirmish was fought, has been restored to its original condition. The Visitor Center contains an information desk, museum and a theater that screens movies about the battle. While walking some of the 17.3 miles of interpretative hiking trails, visitors can explore history earthworks and cannon emplacements. Interpretative signs tell the story of the battle. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.

I went and purchased a pass for going up the mountain in my vehicle at the business office. I was very impressed by the young man who sold it to me. He was articulate, knowledgeable and quite gracious. To the Kennesaw mountain manager. You very lucky to have him. He can go far, he obviously very passionate about his job.

I should have been better prepared for this place. The film at the Visitor's Center should be mandatory. Although lengthy, it very aptly describes what happened at this wonderful site. What I didn't expect is that to get to certain crucial places, one must hike very rocky trails. I needed my hiking boots and stick. The trail to Cheatham Hill--which is a must-see--is very easy and level. It is a moving site. Cheatham Hill is the first land acquired for this military park. It is the site of the heaviest fighting, and both sides declared a temporary truce for the purpose of burying their dead.

This is a great place to visit and learn about history and nature. Kids have a good time and you can invest some good quality time. If you like walking and learning you will have a ball.

Beautiful park. The trails themselves are amazing, but the staff has allowed the Bicycle mafia to overtake the road that goes to the top of the mountain. BICYCLISTS FREQUENTLY RIDE 35 MPH+ down the steep road/hill, weaving in and out of pedestrians, and many times barely missing the walkers on the road. The posted speed limit is 15 MPH, but neither the staff nor law enforcement does ANYTHING to address this safety hazard. I've complained about it several times, but they refuse to do anything about it.
I've been on the mountain hundreds of times, and have never seen a staff member, volunteer or law enforcement actually on the road, or even at the (single) entrance to the road that goes up the hill. It wouldn't be hard to post someone at the bottom of the hill and say to each bicyclist as they are heading up, "Hey, the max speed is 15 MPH. If you speed down this road, you will be kicked out of the park." Instead, the bicyclists are allowed to continue to intimidate the walkers.

What is the Kennesaw Mountain Road like? Is it narrow, or very winding, or does it have steep drop-offs with no guardrails? We have a large Ford 250 truck and would like to know if we will be able to drive up it or not. Also, what is the shuttle service like? Is it easy to access? How long does it take to get up the mountain and does it stop along the way to allow passengers on and off? Thank you.

When in doubt, contact the Park. You should be fine with the 250, just realize there could be a lot of walkers/runners, etc., on the road.

Is this a kid friendly spot? I'd like to take my 7 yr old to see an amazing view of GA. ??
Rédigé le 4 août 2018
Absolutely
The view from the top is great! If you go into the park Visitor center they have Junior Ranger program!

Is there RV/bus parking available while hiking to top of mountain?
Rédigé le 3 janvier 2018
there is a parking lot, guess it depends on the size of the R/V. Something under 25 feet is probably ok.
Rédigé le 16 mars 2018
Are there guided tours of the battlefield...earthworks, etc?
Rédigé le 31 décembre 2017
I am not sure but you can contact the visitors center 7704274686 and they could give any information on that. Sorry I wasn't more help !
Rédigé le 2 janvier 2018
They way I would recommend because I see you are from out of state, would be to take Barrett Parkway and head West. If you are headed North from Atlanta on 75N, take Barrett Parkway which is exit 269. Take that exit and turn left. Stay near the left lane and go about 3.3 miles. Watch for the Brown National park sign and turn left onto old hwy 41 and it will be down on you right, can't miss it.

Yes to drive up road is open Monday thru Friday weather permitting. And a shuttle bus is available on the weekends.

how long does it take to tour the kennesaw battlefield?
Rédigé le 21 février 2015
That is totally up to you and how interested you are in the details. When we were there it was pouring rain so we did not drive the trail. We did spend a long time at the visitor' center. Very extensive.
