Confirmed from Little Kennesaw Mountain's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Well-known locale for hiking trails, some with scenic views, plus boulders, deer and wildflowers.
What runners say about Little Kennesaw Mountain
“Today we saw a red tail hawk and lots of beautiful wildflowers.”
What makes this trail interesting, besides its historical significance, are the large boulders all along the path and landscape. The views are nice, the trail well worn but maintained. Not an easy trail, since you are after all climbing a mountain, but far from difficult and well worth the effort.
I love to hike here from Pigeon Hill trail. We almost always encounter deer. Today we saw a red tail hawk and lots of beautiful wildflowers.
Awesome place for a Family hike. Took my son for first time, he is a big hiker, lives in Phoenix, kicked both our tails! Pigeon Hill side is tougher than the name implies!
Very beautiful trail. If your into rocky trails this trail is made for you!
