Tallulah Gorge, Natural gorge and waterfalls in northern Georgia, United States
The Tallulah Gorge extends for two miles, reaching depths of 1,000 feet with multiple waterfalls cascading through the quartzite rock formations.
In 1913, Georgia Railway and Power constructed a hydroelectric dam above the falls to generate electricity for Atlanta's streetcar system.
The gorge became a major tourist destination in the 1880s after the Tallulah Falls Railway connected it to Atlanta and southern Georgia.
The park provides 20 miles of trails, including rim paths and a gorge floor route that requires a permit limited to 100 visitors daily.
Karl Wallenda crossed the gorge on a tightrope in 1970, walking between specially constructed towers at a height of 800 feet.
