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, you’ll 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.
