Horsetrough Mountain, Mountain summit in Union County, Georgia, United States.
Horsetrough Mountain reaches an elevation of 4,045 feet within the Chattahoochee National Forest, forming part of the Mark Trail Wilderness in northeastern Georgia.
The mountain received its name from early settlers who observed its natural contours resembling the shape of a traditional horse feeding container.
The mountain forms part of the broader Appalachian region, where generations of local residents maintain traditions of outdoor exploration and natural resource conservation.
Multiple hiking paths connect to the Appalachian Trail along the mountain's ridge, with the nearest supplies and services available in the town of Young Harris.
The Eastern Continental Divide crosses the peak, directing water flow either toward the Atlantic Ocean on the southeast or the Gulf of Mexico on the northwest.
