Itinerary:

Cherokee Trail is a nice wooded trail that runs around Stone Mountain and offers plenty of lake views. We will hike approximately 5,5 miles keeping a moderate to fast pace with few rest stops. The direction will be counterclockwise. 

Let's meet outside the restrooms at the Confederate Hall.

There is a $15 parking fee to enter the park. However, free public parking is available in Stone Mountain Village. See directions below. If you park outside, be at least 15 minutes earlier to make the walk into the park.
