Tallulah Gorge State Park camping area is a picturesque destination located in the northern part of Georgia. The park offers stunning views of the Tallulah Gorge, a 1000-foot deep canyon carved by the Tallulah River. Visitors can hike along the rim of the gorge or take the 310-step staircase to the gorge floor for an up-close view of the rushing river.

An interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to the Cherokee Nation, who believed the gorge was a sacred place, and that the sound of the waterfalls was the voice of the Great Spirit.

The average temperature during this time is 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit, making it pleasant for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and swimming.
