Dowdell's Knob


Dowdell's Knob is a prominent mountain in Harris County, Georgia. It is the highest point in Harris County at 1,395 feet above sea level and the highest point on the Pine Mountain Range in the area. It is often referred to as a historical spot where former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would dine occasionally. He had a brick oven and picnic area constructed on this mountain for his use during his visits to nearby Warm Springs. Dowdell's Knob is located south of Atlanta and north of Columbus.
The summit has the name of James and Lewis Dowdell, early settlers.
