Imagine being in this very spot watching crews of Confederate cannon teams firing down upon the Union troops below! You will have many photos ops with the cannons as you hike down the many different dirt paths that are available. #AdventurePacked

Kennesaw Battlefield Park, a 2,965 acre park that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign, and also contains Kennesaw Mountain. Opposing forces maneuvered and fought here from June 19, 1864 until July 2, 1864. Although most famous as a Civil War battlefield, Kennesaw Mountain has a much richer story. Kennesaw Mountain was a physical barrier standing between a large Federal force and an important Confederate railroad and manufacturing center. The battle played an important role in a complicated national drama of bitter military combat and politics. It is located at 905 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, between Marietta and Kennesaw, GA.
