Brasstown Bald | Highest Point in Georgia 4, 784 ft | Travel Guide | (Is it worth the $)
Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia at 4, 784ft / 1458m. Located in Hiawassee, Georgia inside the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, this highest point is truly breathtaking! Once you've parked in the parking lot it's just a short .60 of a mile hike to the very top (or you can take a shuttle that's open seasonally April-??) Once to the top you have very large viewing platform with 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains (These are the southern part of the Appalachian Mountains) If you come after hours or in the off season when the visitor center is closed, you still need to pay $5 to park. Or its $7 a person during season and that includes the shuttle. OR if you have the America the Beautiful pass, its free to enter.
