Geologic Formation State Park

To see the six waterfalls that cause the Tallulah River to drop nearly 150 m (500 ft), visit Tallulah Gorge State Park, a 1,000 hectare (2,600 acre) wilderness area. The sprawling park surrounds a 300 m (1,000 ft) deep river gorge, considered one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia." Just above the gorge you can also see a century-old hydroelectric dam, built in 1913 to generate electricity needed to run Atlanta's streetcars. The dam activates regular white-water releases, providing opportunities for white-water rafting and kayaking. Hikers love to explore the suspension bridge, which hangs 24.4 m (80 ft) above the gorge. Stop by the interpretative visitor center if you’d like to hike to the gorge’s floor because you’ll need a permit; 100 are distributed each day. Put Tallulah Gorge State Park on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Tallulah Falls family vacation planner.

We camped 3 nights. It is a nice campground though not as quiet as we expected as we could hear traffic from the nearby highway. The campground is nicely maintained with power and water hookup. Dump s... more »
