It is the highest point in the core (urban and suburban) metro Atlanta area, and fifth after further-north exurban counties are considered.[citation needed] The local terrain averages roughly 1,000 feet (300 m) AMSL.
The mountain actually has two summits:[citation needed]
- "Big Kennesaw", where the modern-day parking area and scenic overlook are located
- Little Kennesaw Mountain, where several light hiking trails and nature areas connect the mountains to the rest of the park
