As we’re sure you can imagine, Tallulah Gorge is one of the most beautiful places to snag some serious autumn views in Georgia. Because of it’s proximity to the northern mountains of Georgia, the views you’ll have hiking throughout this state park will be straight out of storybooks. But if you really are looking for the ultimate fall foliage vantage point in this state park, you’ll head straight to the suspension bridge.
As one of the most stunning canyons in the eastern United States, Tallulah Gorge is close to two miles in length and almost 1,000 feet deep.
Visitors to the spectacular canyon will find a seemingly endless amount of hiking trails, plus chances to obtain a permit and head from the top to very bottom of the gorge floor.
You’ll be able to see the river and waterfalls down below, plus the endless array of oranges, reds, yellows, and ambers of the turning leaves in every direction.
In order to get to the suspension bridge at Tallulah Gorge, you’ll need to hike the Hurricane Falls trail, which is one of the most popular trail hikes in the state.
At under 2.5 miles, the Hurricane Falls Trail will take you through the park with a few changes in elevation, but the suspension bridge in the center of all the autumn magic will perhaps be the highlight.
