Tallulah Gorge State Park in the North Georgia Mountains

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. Hwy. 441; the main route between Atlanta and the Great Smoky Mountains. The park's interpretive center features an award-winning film that takes viewers on a dramatic journey through the gorge. Tallulah Gorge State Park takes an aggressive position toward visitor safety and protection of natural resources.

Due to the rugged terrain and fragile plant and animal life, visitors must obtain a free permit (limit 100 per day) from the visitor center before hiking into the gorge. This state park was created through a partnership between the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia Power Company.
