Sawnee Mountain Preserve

The Sawnee Mountain Preserve in Cumming is 963 acres with hiking trails, Indian Seats, a tree canopy classroom, playground, two picnic pavilions, climbing area, amphitheater and visitor center. The trails and visitor center are open daily.

The Indian Seats are a natural rock formation at the top of the trail system that offer beautiful views of the North Georgia mountains. They are also a perfect location for family photographs, particularly during the fall leaf season.
