A short hike via Buzzard Rock Trail takes you to this vertical rock formation, with panoramic views of Fort Valley and the National Forest. The second part of the trail is rock so it’s recommended to go with shoes with good traction and support. The parking lot can be busy on weekends, it’s better to get there early.

At 2,530 feet, Kennedy Peak rewards you with stunning panoramic views all year round. However, the winter panorama is particularly breathtaking, due to the snow blanketing the areas below the summit.
