About
Tallulah Gorge State Park protects one of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern United States. The gorge plunges nearly 1,000 feet through quartzite rock, creating six waterfalls along the Tallulah River. The park's campground offers 52 sites suitable for tents, trailers, and RVs, all equipped with electric and water hookups, fire rings or grills, and picnic tables. Modern comfort stations provide hot showers and flush toilets, and a dump station serves RV campers. Beyond camping, the park features over 20 miles of trails along the gorge rim with stunning overlooks. Two suspension bridges span the gorge, and a limited number of daily permits allow hikers to descend the Hurricane Falls staircase to the gorge floor. The 63-acre Terrora Lake provides seasonal swimming at a sand beach, though this area is closed through August 2026 for renovations. For group camping, a pioneer campground accommodates larger parties, and two backcountry Adirondack shelters offer a more primitive overnight experience. The Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center provides exhibits on the gorge's natural and cultural history. Pets are welcome on leash on rim trails but are prohibited on the gorge floor and sliding rock trail.
