Cloudland Canyon State Park is one of Georgia's largest and most beautiful state parks, spanning 3,485 acres throughout the Trenton and Cooper Heights area. The park, which is located along the western side of Lookout Mountain, was established in portions beginning in 1938 as Sitton Gulch and developed as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Today, the park is best known for its spectacular hiking and mountain biking opportunities, with trails such as the 4.8-mile West Rim Loop Trail offering opportunities to view nearby mountain vistas and peer into the thousand-foot canyons cut by Sitton Gulch Creek. The moderately strenuous Waterfalls Trail also showcases several beautiful falls along Daniel Creek, including Cherokee and Hemlock Falls. Other attractions include an 18-hole disc golf course, seasonal show caves, horseback riding trails, and a fishing pond. Visitors looking to stay at the park overnight can choose from 62 tent or RV sites, 10 backcountry campsites, or 16 rental cottages located within the park's boundaries. Each year in the spring, the park hosts an annual wildflower program and a Kids' Catfish Rodeo special event.
