If you truly love the outdoors and nature you need to visit this park!!! Lots of trails. you can get in some lovely pictures as well. While we were there a couple got engaged atop one of the overlooks. Beautiful!!!
A good visitors center. They have a little section on the history of the park and the flora and fauna. The gift shop is a bit small but they got some cool stuff there.
Very nice visitor center with a great exhibition about the Smoky Mountains. They also have a beautifull display of actual animals that live here. We also visited the Tallulah falls behind the center: L'Eau d'Or, Tempesta abd Hurricane falls. They are beautifull. The trail to the bridge over Hurricane falls is actually a stairway of 310 steps according to the map we received at the center. Parking fee is $5.
Even though my Fiance and I didn't get to the park in time to receive a permit to hike the Gorge floor, all the other trails and views didn't let us down! The views of this Gorge and all the falls were spectacular! This park is a definite must for those of you looking to hike with phenomenal views as rewards!!!
We love to stop here when driving through. The park and the visitor center are clean and well run. Get there early in the morning for easy parking. It fills up. Take food and water if you plan to hike the trail (super steep steps) down to the suspension bridge and beyond. Wear comfortable shoes! It's a workout, but worth it. Views are gorgeous. Even if you don't hike down to the bridge, stop and look around.
Very good location. Exhausting to go all the way down to falls and come up. 1100+ steps. Enjoyed every bit of it.
A very friendly staff and a nice little museum inside as well.
Wonderful fro hiking!
The staff are nice and you feel welcomed, it has a nice time lin map downstairs.
When we visited Tallulah Gorge Visitor Center the staff was very informative and helpful. It looked like the gift shop was being remodeled. They have a impressive short movie about the gorge. The ramp to the lower level has lots of area educational displays.
