Anyone who visits this state park will become engulfed in the jaw-dropping natural beauty - from the Tallulah River curving through the gorge to the five different waterfalls throughout the area.

No matter what time of year you visit, there is sure to be something awe-inspiring. Autumn brings about a sensation of colors as the leaves change, meanwhile spring and summer offer the green vibrancy in sweeping waves.

At over two miles in length, many people adventure down to the gorge to hike between the mountaintops. If you don’t want to hike down to the gorge floor you can always stick to the rim - both, equally beautiful.

A true gem of the entire park is the iconic suspension bridge, which takes hikers over the gorge while simultaneously testing their courage, too.

The bridge is suspended 80-feet in the air over the rocky gorge floor, which when your smack dab in the middle of it, you’ll have incredible views of the waterfalls and rivers below.

There are over 20 miles of trails to explore, from the 2.5-mile Gorge Floor Trail, which does require a permit provided free daily, to the North & South Rim Trails, which clocks in at three miles round trip.

Hurricane Falls Loop Trail is another popular hike within the park but is rated difficult due to the 1,099 metal stairs to and from the gorge floor.

But even if you just walk the park and visit the various overlooks without the strenuous hikes, you’ll be rewarded either way.
