Question: In which Georgia county would you find the starting point (or ending point) for the Appalachian Trail?
Answer: Fannin County. The start of the Appalachian Trail begins at the top of Springer Mountain in southern Fannin County. From there, hikers trek 2,000+ miles to Maine’s Mount Katahdin. The trail follows the eastern ridge of the Appalachian Mountains and passes through 14 states. Although the popular slogan among hikers is “Maine to Georgia,” most people hike the trail the other way, Georgia to Maine.
