Get ready for one of the best views in Northeast Georgia! You have a couple of options to reach the summit of Pinnacle Knob, but the most direct route is a moderately challenging 3.6-mile round trip from the Courthouse Gap trailhead. The trail involves a steady climb with an elevation gain of over 1,000 feet, but the path is well-maintained with switchbacks to ease the ascent. Your reward is a spectacular 270-degree panorama from a rocky outcrop, overlooking the Clayton valley and distant mountains—a truly memorable payoff for your effort.
