Warren County Highpoint Trip Report

two unnamed areas (480+ ft)

General: There are two candidates for the high point in Warren County, on either side of US 158. It is not at all clear which is the higher and I recommend that both be visited.

Access: From Exit 223 on I-85, take Manson Road southeast about 1 mile to its intersection with US 1 and US 158 in the hamlet of Manson. Turn right (west) on 1 and 158 and go about 0.7 mile to a height of land. The two areas are on either side of the road here.

The Hike: The highest point in the irregularly shaped northern area appears to be in a farm field a couple of hundred feet north of the highway. Walk around in the high area of the field. Then cross the road and walk southeast along the border between a farm field and a wood lot. High areas seem to be both in the woods and in the field. Walk around until satisfied.
