About Tallulah Gorge State Park

Tallulah Gorge is a canyon about two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep, cut by the Tallulah River. Rim trails lead to several overlooks, and a staircase drops to a suspension bridge that sways 80 feet above the rocky bottom, with views of the river and waterfalls. Hiking the gorge floor takes one of 100 free permits issued each day, and proper footwear is required. The Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center covers the area's history, and towers from Karl Wallenda's 1970 tightrope walk still stand.
