Black Rock Mountain State Park is a 1,743-acre Georgia, United States, state park west of Mountain City in Rabun County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is named after its sheer cliffs of dark-colored biotite gneiss. Astride the Eastern Continental Divide at an elevation of 3,640 feet, the park provides many scenic overlooks and 80-mile vistas of the southern Appalachian Mountains. On a clear day, four states are visible: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

In addition to Black Rock Mountain itself, the park includes four other peaks over 3,000 feet in elevation, making it the state's highest state park. As of 2019, it was open to visitors year round.

Most of the rock outcrops found throughout the park are made of biotite gneiss, a metamorphic rock that underlies a large portion of the Georgia Blue Ridge. Black Rock Mountain State Park was established in 1952 and originally consisted of 1,000 acres.

Several years before Karen and Lee Duquette became known as the two RV Gypsies, they took a short trip here to Black Rock Mountain State Park in Georgia. They stopped at several overlooks before reaching Black Rock Mountain State Park. The photos are very different than the photos above.
