Driskill Mountain, Mountain summit in Bienville Parish, United States.
Driskill Mountain rises 535 feet above sea level through a forested landscape, marking the highest natural elevation point in Louisiana.
The mountain received its name from James Christopher Driskill, who moved from Georgia to Louisiana with his family during the 1850s.
Mount Zion Presbyterian Church near the mountain serves as a central gathering point for hikers and maintains strong connections with the local community.
The hiking trail begins behind the church, extending for approximately one mile through wooded areas with clear markers leading to the summit.
The mountain holds the ashes of Jack Longacre, founder of the Highpointers Club, who selected this location as his final resting place in 2002.
