Lakemont, GA

Travel Guide

This is one of the many short falls on the Tallulah River at the bottom of Tallulah Gorge. To reach this point you have to climb 400 steps to the bottom of the gorge, cross the river (not easy) and hike about a half mile. It's a rugged hike over boulders and rock faces. Not for the faint of heart!
One of the most spectacular spots in north Georgia is Tallulah Gorge with its mile long series of waterfalls and pools. The climb down to the gorge is a steep set of stairs to a viewing platform where you can see this fall at a angle. If you want to see more of the gorge, you must follow a trail along the river on what is more of a rock climb than a hike. Not recommended unless you are used to rugged hikes.
This is Bridal Veil Falls on the Tallulah River at the bottom of Tallulah Gorge on a hot June day. Even though it's a steep climb down into the gorge, many young kids and teenagers love to come here to slide down Bridal Veil Falls into the pool below. The problem - the quarter mile climb out is extremely steep and more like a rock climb than a hike.
Great hike with gorgeous views
You feel so small standing so tall, looking down at all that Earth! You NEED to check this out :)

8.4/10 Very Good! (617 reviews)
Average. It was ok. The beds were clean and that’s what is super important. The floors seemed like they could use a good deep scrub. Not much to choose from for breakfast. But the waffle station was nice. At least one of my kids used this. A bit far from the city center. So that was unfortunate. ...

It consists of only a few businesses - a gallery and a store with sandwich shop/ice cream/supplies. It is a cute area that you drive through from Lake Rabun to Clayton on Old 441N
