## Geography[edit]

Most of Big Frog Mountain, including its summit, is located in Polk County, Tennessee, which is also the highest point in that county.[1] Part of the mountain south of the summit is located in Fannin County, Georgia. It is located on the divide between the Tennessee and Coosa basins. A network of trails allow hikers to explore the mountain, which gains its distinctive name by, according to some, looking somewhat like a frog in profile. It has also been speculated that the local place name "Cohutta" derived from a Cherokee word meaning "Big Frog"

Big Frog Mountain has a long, narrow, and flat top rising gently to a maximum height of 4,224 feet (1,287 m). Large patches of rhododendron can be found on the western part of the mountaintop.
