Hey I'm from arkansas too.
Ok I'll give you the directions that got me there. Get a close scale map of cashiers off map quest just for reference.
Take 64 E from cashiers towards brevard for 1.8 miles until you reach cedar creek road on the left. Take this for 2.3 miles until you reach breedlove road on your right. Follow this for 3.3 miles until you hit dirt. Follow to the parking area.
We were able to follow the directions and find the rock pretty well but the hike was rough. Travel light and wear nice boots. Not flip flops, and also a comfy backpack.
Hope you have fun.

So how long is the hike in? Very well marked? Im looking to visit a friend in atlanta and would love to spend a weekend out at LK. How far is it from atlanta approximately?

The guy we climbed at Looking Glass with said the LK hike is significant-- about an hour and a half in, but downhill. Which means after climbing all day, you've got a 1.5 hour+ uphill hike to get back to your ride.
