Lakemont, GA

Travel Guide

This is one of the many short falls on the Tallulah River at the bottom of Tallulah Gorge. To reach this point you have to climb 400 steps to the bottom of the gorge, cross the river (not easy) and hike about a half mile. It's a rugged hike over boulders and rock faces. Not for the faint of heart!
One of the most spectacular spots in north Georgia is Tallulah Gorge with its mile long series of waterfalls and pools. The climb down to the gorge is a steep set of stairs to a viewing platform where you can see this fall at a angle. If you want to see more of the gorge, you must follow a trail along the river on what is more of a rock climb than a hike. Not recommended unless you are used to rugged hikes.
This is Bridal Veil Falls on the Tallulah River at the bottom of Tallulah Gorge on a hot June day. Even though it's a steep climb down into the gorge, many young kids and teenagers love to come here to slide down Bridal Veil Falls into the pool below. The problem - the quarter mile climb out is extremely steep and more like a rock climb than a hike.
Great hike with gorgeous views
You feel so small standing so tall, looking down at all that Earth! You NEED to check this out :)

8.4/10 Very Good! (620 reviews)
For a budget hotel, we found the rooms to be clean and fresh smelling, the beds comfy, the pillows plump. The water pressure in the shower was great and there was plenty of hot water. We came before the water park next door was open for the season, but once open, the park may be seen an added perk ...
