Easiest route = hikeYoung Lick is a mountain that lies in three Georgia counties, Habersham, Rabun and Towns. Its summit - Young Lick Knob, elevation 3809', is in Habersham County, making it the highest point in the county. Young Lick Knob is on the
Appalachian Trail .The peak is geographically significant for two reasons. First, it marks the point where Habersham, Rabun and Towns counties meet. More importantly, the
Eastern Continental Divide reaches its southernmost terminus at Young Lick Knob. To the northeast of the peak, water flows into theAtlantic Ocean , to the southeast, water flows directly into theGulf of Mexico via the Chattahoochee, then Apalachicola rivers, and to the west, water also flows to the Gulf, but it follows a less direct route via the Hiawassee, Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi river systems.
