Shooting Creek Bald is a mountain summit in Georgia that rises to 4,318 feet and stands among the higher points in its immediate area. It is identified as a bald, a southern Appalachian term for a mountaintop with a more open crest than the surrounding forest. Its name comes from Shooting Creek in neighboring North Carolina, reflecting the close geographic ties across the state line in this part of the region. Although little more is recorded here, it remains one of Georgia’s named high summits.
