    This is the southern end of the famed 2,135 mile Appalachian Trail, also called "The Green Tunnel". You will find a metal plaque indicating the southern terminus. You can get here by taking the 8.5 mile approach trail from Amicalola State Park.

      Springer Mountain is essentially a small rocky plateau with a few views, known for being the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. The trail from Amicalola Falls State Park is beautiful. Camping is not permitted on the summit plateau, but the Springer Mountain Shelter is just 600 feet to the north.

        A must for everyone who has heard of the Appalachian Trail. This long distance hike takes a few months and this is the southern starting point - the northern point is Mount Katahdin in Maine.
