In addition to Black Rock Mountain itself, the park includes four other peaks over in elevation, making it the highest state park in
Stone Mountain State Park miles. The mountain offers some of the best rock climbing in North Carolina, and the park's creeks and streams feature excellent brook trout fishing.

The park visitor center features the Mountain Culture Exhibit including mountain settler life and artifacts, and natural history including trout, butterflies and moths.
