Red Top Mountain Boulder is a bouldering spot inside Red Top Mountain State Park in Georgia, on land managed by the State Department of Natural Resources.

October typically runs highs around 73°F with lows near 49°F, and spring is similar, with April averaging about 72°F by day and 46°F at night, according to typical averages from the nearby Allatoona Dam weather station.

Other climbers can add the Lake Allatoona Boulders, 1.5 miles away, or Allatoona DWS at 1.9 miles to round out a day on rock.
