Double Spring Knob

Double Spring Knob rises to 4,280 feet (1,305 m) in the border region between Rabun and Towns Counties. The mountain ranks among Georgia's highest peaks and draws hikers seeking elevation gain in the southern Appalachians.

The mountain was documented in early 20th-century geographical surveys as the region's mapping progressed. Its inclusion in official records established it as a known reference point in Georgia's highlands.

The summit serves as a key landmark for Appalachian Trail hikers, connecting them to generations of mountain travel traditions in the Southeast.

Visitors should monitor weather conditions since temperatures can shift considerably between base and summit. Bringing extra layers is wise even if conditions seem mild in the lower areas.

The summit sits at the boundary between two counties, making it an unusual location from an administrative standpoint. This border position adds an interesting layer to its role on hiking maps.
