Tallulah Gorge & Falls

Posted on January 21, 2016 Written by 5 Comments

Nearby Areas: Tallulah Falls   State: Georgia   Ease of Trail: Easy, Moderate, Wheelchair Accessible

Tallulah Falls Tallulah Gorge is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. Multiple trails around the park take you to several overlooks. There are several impressive views of the gorge and it’s waterfalls.

There are also exhibits inside the park building that highlight the town, and animals located in the gorge area and the ecosystem.Tallulah Falls

Several trails are easy to walk with a few moderates. I cannot rate the hike to the gorge floor as I have not hiked it. Some are also wheelchair and stroller accessible. One unusual trail one takes you to a suspension bridge 80 feet above the ground with an amazing view of the waterfalls and river.

You can also obtain a permit to hike to the gorge floor (100 per day, not available during water releases). These are in limited availability, so arrive early to get one.

Park hours are 8 am to dark and there is a $5 parking fee.

    These falls and the park exhibits are great. My kids loved them. I’d never heard of this place, but saw it on your website and decided to check it out. I’m really glad we did. My family had a great time exploring the area. So much to do and see!

    It costs to enter, but it is well worth the price.

      I’m not sure, but we assume it is to limit the number of people who go down so it doesn’t get too crowded, and ensure that those who do attempt it, are more able to, as it is a challenging hike from what we could tell. We had a wedding to go to later in the day, and didn’t want to risk not being able to get back in time for that.
