Membership Information

In 2001, Friends of Red Top Mountain State Park was formed as a charter chapter of the Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites.  This non-profit, state-wide organization exists for the sole purpose of supporting state parks and historic sites and providing assistance with a level of flexibility unavailable through state government.

Friends are a growing group of dedicated people who show their support in a number of ways. Some volunteer, some contribute financially, and some seek legislative support for the parks. Whatever your involvement, you are giving back to Georgia in a meaningful way. With more than 20 chapters across the state, you may be just down the road from a place where you can make new friends while making a difference. Plus, a portion of your membership fees is returned directly to these chapters for needed projects.

By becoming a member of Friends of Red Top Mountain State Park, you can have the satisfaction of helping preserve our state's natural, cultural, and historic treasures.
