Cloudland Canyon State Park
Cloudland Canyon
One of Georgia's most spectacular canyons. The rim trail and two waterfalls are popular hiking routes.
Located on the west side of Lookout Mountain, the canyon is about 300 meters deep. The rim trail offers views of layered sandstone cliffs and panoramas over the canyon. The waterfall trail descends more than 600 steps to Cherokee Falls and Hemlock Falls. The round trip takes about 1 to 2 hours, and the climb back up is quite tiring. The park has campgrounds, cabins and mountain-bike trails. Parking costs about $5. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Chattanooga and can be combined with a visit to Rock City on the same day.
