Along the beautiful scenic highway US 441, on the border between Habersham and Rabun counties you find the marvelous gorge Native Americans called Tallulah.
The splendor that made the once glorious town flourish is still evident in the gorge. What once made the gorge most visited tourist attraction in the Southeast still draws thousands as the falls on the Tallulah River prove to be quite amazing to those who love the outdoors, so beautiful they were nicknamed “Niagara of the South.”
The granite walls of Tallulah fall perpendicular to the land above forming steep cliffs that are thrilling to behold.
The roar of the falls into the canyon can be heard for miles.
The cliffs of Tallulah at one point drop 1200 feet to the bottom of the gorge.
The home of many endangered species including persistent trillium (the only place it is found), the gorge was the perfect place to release peregrine falcons, also endangered.
Trails surround the Tallulah Gorge allowing you to take in all of its scenic wonders. For more information check out these wonderful links:
