Dowdell's Knob is a prominent mountain in Harris County, Georgia.[1] It is the highest point in Harris County at 1,395 feet (425 meters) above sea level and the highest point on the Pine Mountain Range in the area.[2] 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 66 mi (106 km) south of Atlanta and 30 mi (48 km) north of Columbus.
