Chenocetah Mountain, a 1,830-foot peak near Mount Airy and Cornelia in northeastern Georgia, has long been known by several names, including the local Tower Mountain and the older Griffin Mountain. Its current name comes from a Cherokee word meaning “see all around,” reflecting its commanding position above nearby hills and valleys. In 1937, the Works Progress Administration built an observation tower on the summit for the Forest Service, and rangers have used it as a fire lookout. Though not usually open at all times, the tower is sometimes accessible to visitors, especially during Cornelia’s annual Big Red Apple Festival, when its panoramic summit view becomes part of the celebration.
