Tallulah Gorge State Park preserves one of the American Southeast's most spectacular natural wonders, a two-mile erosion-carved gorge which plummets more than 1,000 feet to the surface of the Tallulah River. The park, which is located along the Habersham and Rabun County lines, is best known as an access point to see the spectacular Tallulah Falls, a collection of six smaller waterfalls that create a drop of 500 feet over the course of a mile. Several rim overlook hikes are also offered, along with permit hiking opportunities to reach the gorge's floor on days when water conditions are safe. Park visitors can also observe the river from an 80-foot-tall suspension bridge, which provides panoramic views of the gorge's rocky bottom. The park's Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center offers exhibits on the region's ecosystem and history as a turn-of-the-century resort town.
