Confirmed from Top of Bradley 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.
Boardwalk hiking area known for sunset views, diverse flora, and kid-friendly access.
What runners say about Top of Bradley Mountain
“Beautiful location, but the big drawback is that despite the close proximity, you cannot see Atlanta nor Stone Mountain from there because of the high ridge to the west.”
Extremely beautiful and I timed it just right for the sunset. The fresh air and the serenity of being on top of a mountain, no matter how big it may be, is indescribable. Definitely nice for any small hiking trip or to take nice photos. 10/10 recommend to visit.
Great place to go for a family hike, walk, bike ride. Many trails and paved walk ways as well.
Short, but beautiful hike up a monadnock that is about a thousand feet above sea level. The views are impressive, especially at sunset. The solution pools around the summit are filled with lovely red succulents (Diamorpha). Arabia Mountain is more impressive than nearby Panola Mountain.
Part of Arabia mountain preserve. Far side of the main peak. Don’t stop at the short trail from the AWARE parking lot. Between both sides of the road. (Mountain and ranger station side) There are over 2500 acres. Ranger led hikes are FREE and noted on the preserve website.
