Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Lookout Mountain, GA

Lookout Mountain is a small residential city in Walker County, Georgia, sitting atop the Lookout Mountain ridge directly beside its sister city of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, and it is part of the Chattanooga metropolitan area — it is not the Tennessee city of the same name.

The 2020 census counted 1,641 residents in Lookout Mountain, living in 611 households.

The city covers about 2.7 square miles at an elevation of roughly 1,801 feet above sea level.

Lookout Mountain, Georgia is home to Rock City, the famous mountaintop attraction of rock formations, gardens and its High Falls waterfall, which draws visitors from across the country.

The community began in 1924 as Fairyland, a resort and residential development launched by entrepreneur Garnet Carter and named for his wife Frieda's interest in European folklore.

Garnet Carter opened the Fairyland Inn in 1925, and when construction of Fairyland's golf course was delayed, he created Tom Thumb Golf, recognized as the nation's first miniature golf course, on the site.

The former Fairyland Inn later became the Fairyland Club, whose historic clubhouse and Seth Raynor-designed golf course have been restored.

The Fairyland community was incorporated as the City of Lookout Mountain, Georgia in 1969.

Covenant College, a Presbyterian liberal arts college, is often described as being in Lookout Mountain, but its campus actually sits just across the county line in neighboring Dade County.

The city's population has stayed remarkably steady for half a century, ranging only between about 1,500 and 1,640 residents in every census from 1970 through 2020.
