Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
Brasstown Bald

Beautiful Brasstown Bald, rising 4,784 feet above sea level, is Georgia's highest mountain. On clear days, the spectacular 360-degree view from atop the mountain allows you to see four states, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The surrounding area is home to a wide variety of plants and animals.

The Visitor Information Center, located on the summit of the Bald, offers exhibits, video presentations and interpretive programs. A steep, paved 1/2 mile trail leads from the parking lot to the Visitor Information Center on the Bald. For those who don't want to walk, a concessionaire operates a shuttle buss from the parking area to the Visitor Information Center for a fee.

Brasstown Bald is open daily from Memorial Day through October and on weekends in the early spring and late fall (depending on the weather). Brasstown Bald offers the following:

• A panoramic view of four states from Georgia's highest mountain. See for yourself via our webcams.
• Exhibits, which trace the natural and cultural history of the area
• Video presentation shown regularly throughout the day in the mountaintop theatre
• Access to four hiking trails ranging from 1/2 to 6 miles in length
• Breathtaking displays of spring wildflowers and fall foliage
• Picnic tables and snack food concessions at the parking area
• Interpretive materials available from the Chattahoochee-Oconee Interpretive Association in the log cabin shop at the parking area.
