From the reviews

Love going to Boatrock - great climbing with a wide range of routes across the spectrum. HOWEVER, beware of break-ins and other undesirables loitering and not climbing that hang out in the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Brandon, May 2019

Amazing place to boulder and explore near Atlanta. Pet friendly. You need a gate code to enter(SCC website). If you like slab climbing and granite I would 10/10 recommend, if you don’t like those things, well it’s probably because you aren’t any good at them so I would still 10/10 recommend. Lol

Great for bouldering and also for easy wilderness walks. Very pretty area. There’s plenty of boulders to scramble on so climbing experience isn’t necessary to enjoy this park.

★★★★★ — Stefan, Apr 2019

This is one of Atlanta's best natural treasures. For you rock climbers, the rocks here present some tough bouldering challenges. I spotted three Catesby's Trilliums in bloom on my visit on April 15.
