Woodall Mountain

Woodall Mountain, with an elevation of 806 feet (246 meters), is the highest point in Mississippi, United States. It is located in Tishomingo County, in the state's extreme northeastern corner, approximately southwest of Iuka, in the southern Appalachian foothills' westernmost foothills. It was the location of the Battle of Iuka (September 19, 1862) during the American Civil War, when a Union force led by General William S. Rosecrans was first defeated by Confederates led by General Sterling Price near its base. It is supposed to be named after former Tishomingo County Sheriff Zephaniah H. Woodall.

On the peak, the Highpointers Club has placed a seat and an educational plaque. It was formerly known as Yow Hill or Yow Mountain, but in 1878 it was renamed after Zephaniah Woodall, the Sheriff of Tishomingo County.

Take the IUKA exit off of US Hwy 72, drive south, and make an immediate right at the Woodall Mountain sign. Follow the signs to CR185, which leads to the summit of Woodall Mountain.
