Tallulah Gorge - A Scenic Wonder

Sheer granite walls fall perpendicular to the surrounding land forming steep cliffs to the river below. This was north Georgia's first tourist attraction in the 1800's and was sometimes visited by 2000 people a day. The train depot sat on top of one of the most scenic cliffs along the gorge. This scenic view was changed forever after the takeover by Georgia Power in the early 1900's. But the river flow was somewhat restored in the 1990's by the governor and a state park was formed. This is one of the best natural wonders in Georgia and you can find more information along with the history at www.ngeorgia.com.

Movie buffs: In 1971, Jon Voight climbed out of the gorge as part of the movie Deliverance.
