Tallulah Gorge State Park

My brother told me when we were headed to his house outside Atlanta, we had to stop at Tallulah Gorge State Park.  It's about halfway between Gatlinburg and where we were going, so it was right on the way and we had plenty of time since we'd had an early start from Gatlinburg.

Tallulah Gorge State Park has a lot of activities you can do, but for us, the walk to see a few waterfalls was plenty!  You can hike, climb, and go to the bottom of the gorge.  There's a suspension bridge, too.

Or you can just enjoy the views from up top!  Here are a couple of the pictures and a video.

They let the water out at the dam periodically.

The Visitor Center has exhibits about the Tallulah Falls area and how it developed, both the town and economy and the natural resources.  There's a good film, too, which we would recommend watching before going out to look at the falls.  (We watched it afterwards.)

If you're traveling that way, it's worth a stop.  Admission is $5 for parking.  It's near several popular north Georgia places like Ellijay, Jasper, Blairsville, Helen, and Dahlonega.
