Woody Gap is a mountain ridge gap in northern Georgia where the Appalachian Trail crosses State Highway 60. Perched at 3,160 ft altitude, the gap affords scenic vistas of Yahoola Valley below. The trailhead is open to the public year-round.[1]
The mountain pass is named in honor of Arthur Woody, an early conservationist.[2]
