State Route 180 Spur (
SR 180 Spur) is a
spur route that connects the SR 180 mainline with a parking lot at the visitors center for
Brasstown Bald, the highest point in
Georgia. It starts on the
Towns–
Union county line, then travels completely within Towns County until it reaches Brasstown Bald. SR 180 Spur shares the
National Scenic Byway and
Georgia Scenic Byway designations bestowed upon the SR 180 mainline. Because of the altitude and steepness of the road, and because it serves no through traffic, it is often closed in winter due to inclement weather. ;Major intersections ==See also==
