Tallulah Gorge State Park, Tallulah Falls

What an absolutely beautiful park. We spent two days at the park, walking trails and enjoying the sights and water, and we still didn't get the opportunity to see everything. But what we did see was stunning! There are miles of trails you can hike. Some are located on the north side and some on the south side of the gorge. Additionally, you can cross the gorge via the suspension bridge, and even go to the bottom of the gorge. That said, we didn't go to the bottom - it's only 100 passes a day, though they are free - but I imagine it's awesome. And we are hoping to do that ourselves next visit. I highly, highly recommend you been in decent to good shape if you plan to go to the bottom because there are a lot of steps (over 1000 total down and back up) that you must climb to do so. We opted to go down to the suspension bridge and back up and it was quite a work out on its own. There are few sections of trail, including the gorge bottom, that require a pass. It appears they are all free passes, but they only hand out a certain amount per day. For example, we also hiked up to Inspiration Point which was a decent trek, but to go beyond it a pass is required. Honestly, we didn't even hike every trail that didn't require passes, there is plenty to see without. But I think it's important to keep in mind if planning a visit. We loved this park, and we already plan to go back in a few years (we want to see other parks too though in the meantime). The park is wonderful, and every view from the outlook points are simply gorgeous!

Camping was great! The gorge was absolutely beautiful! There were easy enough hiking trails for my young kids and there was a lot to see on even the shorter trails. The only downfall was that we couldn't go down to the gorge floor because we had our dog with us and dogs are not allowed or children under the age of eight. We still got to go pretty close to the bottom and we had so many amazing views.

Tallulah Gorge State Park is such a beautiful park. The views are just phenomenal. There is a very nice gift shop and information center, with lots of gifts and souveniers. There's also a small museum to learn about the history of the gorge and the wildlife in the area. There are a LOT of stairs though. You are able to see a good bit of the gorge without going down any stairs, but to continue going and to see the upper and lower parts, you have to do the stairs. We went on a Sunday and it was insanely busy. Constant people up and down the stairs both sides.

Very awesome Georgia State Park! We’ve hiked here many, many times. I’ve hiked down and out with a child backpack carrier, and now, my children are big enough that they’ve hiked it themselves. We think the campground is great! The host is friendly and helpful! The interpretive center is very cool as well. They’ve got a cool shop as well as an awesome, even if small’ish, museum. The rim trails are pretty easy with great views, and if you’re feeling really good, you can hike the rim to rim loop. The swinging bridge is very fun for kids! No matter your reason for coming to the park, I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed!

Went to Tallulah Gorge at the end of October to get a permit to hike the floor of the gorge. They only give out 100 permits per day to hike the floor. I will say it is definitely an experience to cross off your bucket list. Hiking the floor of the gorge is for more experienced hikers. At least half of the hike was scaling rock and then bouldering up a the side of the mountain. There are two river crossings and depending on where you cross you could be almost waist deep or even fall in the river. It’s worth the trip to the floor of the gorge, but it is not for the faint of heart.
