This peak south of Shackelford Gap is a few feet higher. At the summit there is a sign by the state park listing the summit as "Shackelford Peak Elevation 1286" The nearest tallest neighbor is NE of this peak and NE of SR 38 as part of the Double Oak Mountain Range and the peaks exceed 1300 feet in that region.
