Sitting on top of Lookout Mountain is the pretty, hilltop community of Sand Rock. Compared to the surrounding area, Sand Rock is relatively young, incorporated in 1988. The community, however, has a rich history, dating back to the 1800s.

The school, which started as a one-room schoolhouse for settler’s children, is now a modern multi-building complex – one of the county’s largest.

Home construction has grown along the south and east of Lookout Mountain, with new long-time and new residents taking advantage of the views, mountain rocks, beautiful foliage, and the ever-popular Weiss Lake.

Sand Rock residents take pride in their community. Schools, Churches, and recreational facilities bring citizens together for community events, school events and worship services, and has been an excellent pool for training the volunteer fire department.

As a community with a strong faith, support for family and a strong work ethic, a frequent visitor and long-time observer stated it perfectly, “the people there are solid as a rock.”
