Quitman County High Point Trip Report

From Lumpkin, GA take H27 west for 13 miles. First area is located just after Stewart/Quitman County line as road starts southwesterly turn. Park off to the left and enter piney forest area. Difficult to discern actual high point. Berms at edge of trees next to the road appear to be the highest terrain but are probably man-made. Reference to topo map helpful to ensure exact coverage of area.

For the second area continue down road to first dirt road to the left. Best to park off H27 as there is no room to park on side of dirt road. Although road and area are heavily posted, spoke with a neighbor passing by who assured me the owners were not opposed to casual hikers. Proceed down road about 100 yards and enter pine forest to the left. High point is somewhere in a large flat area approximately a fourth of a mile to the east.
