Tallulah Gorge State Park

This new state park was created through a partnership between the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia Power Company. One of the most spectacular gorges in the eastern U.S., the chasm is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. The park's breathtaking views and the town's rich history make this area a favorite stopping point along U.S. Highway 441 -- the main route between Atlanta and the Great Smoky Mountains. Camping, picnicking, swimming, tennis and fishing are available at the adjacent Terrora Park and Campground, operated by Georgia Power. The park is taking an aggressive position toward visitor safety and protection of natural resources. Due to the rugged terrain and fragile plant and animal life, the park has implemented a permit system for visitors wishing to hike to the bottom of the gorge. Please check at the park's information center for details. Future plans for Tallulah Gorge State Park include more hiking trails and scenic overlooks. A Interpretive Center was opened in July, 1996.  Contact and pricing information is available for Tallulah Gorge State Park.
