Surrounded by the beauty of the Chattahoochee National
Forest and near Lakes Tallulah and Rabun, Tallulah River Walk offers its guests breathtaking scenery as well as a variety
of outdoor activities.
Beginning from the center of Tallulah Falls, you can follow a 500-yard
walking trail along the upper edge of Tallulah Gorge, believed to
be the oldest natural gorge on the continent. Stop at one of the
pavilions along the trail to see some of the rock formations, flora
and fauna, and the five waterfalls in the more than 1,000-foot-deep
gorge. To the south of the resort is the mountain community of Toccoa,
popular with tourists for the water recreation activities on Lake
Hartwell. Since the early 19th century tourists have been coming
to the town to see the 186-foot-high Toccoa Falls, not only for
their beauty, but because they are higher than Niagara Falls.
The adventurous vacationer will want to follow Highway 441 north
to Clayton, where guided white-water trips on the Chattooga River
are available. Continue on to Sky Valley at Dillard, where downhill
skiing and trail rides are available. An interesting day trip is
an easy drive to the west to Helen, a remodeled lumber mill mountain
town. Nearly desolate as late as 1969, this unique town was made
over to resemble a Bavarian Alpine village complete with cobblestone
streets, mountain music, German restaurants, and Old World taverns.
Adding to the delightful European atmosphere, music can be heard
several times a day from an 18 ft. bell tower.
Historians will want to see the displays of mining equipment at
the 1828 gold mine and relive the days of what has been deemed one
of the first gold rushes in the nation. There is also a tour available
of the oldest gold mine east of the Mississippi River.
If outdoor recreation suits your fancy, youll enjoy swimming,
hiking, archery, or something as exciting as gold panning at Blackburn
Park in Dahlonega. Thirteen miles out of town you can continue your
pursuit at the Desoto Falls Scenic Area. Here you can fish or wade
in the clear water beneath the waterfalls or hike through the wooded
area to see some of the marvelous mountains that are a part of the
area. |
