Driskill Mountain

At 535 ft. above sea level, this is the highest point in the State of Louisiana. It is the lowest highest elevation in the United States. Please see a list of my entries about sites in Bienville Parish, including my story about my Great-Aunt Mamie’s visit to a community near Mt. Driskill called Jamestown.

Don’t go in the summer, it was pretty hot. Short interesting walk, for two reasons: 1. It’s a highpoint 2. It was the favorite trail of the founder of the Highpointers Club, and there’s a memorial for him there. We should build him a nicer one. I’ll contribute the first $100 for a little monument!
