My vote goes to Red Top Mountain State Park between Acworth and
Cartersville.  Stone Mountain itself is lovely (carving aside), the park
is something akin to a Confederacy Amusement Park.  It IS closer to
Atlanta's center, however.  If you like cycling, Red Top is not too far
to access points to a jewel for Northwest Georgia, the Silver Comet
Trail (40 miles from Smyrna to Rockmart complete with 700 ft tunnel,
lovely span over Pumpkinvine Creek, etc).
