Black Mountain rises to about 3,600 feet in north Georgia on the Dawson-Gilmer county line, making its summit the highest point in Dawson County. Set within the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area, it stands near Amicalola Falls State Park, Dahlonega, Ellijay, and Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Nearby landmarks include Nimblewill Gap, Frosty Mountain, and Tickanetley Creek. Reached by the Appalachian Approach Trail, Black Mountain lies along a prominent hiking corridor in the southern Appalachians and is closely connected to one of the region’s best-known long-distance trail networks.
