Absolutely stunning! We Hiked to 2 Gorgeous Waterfalls & a Breathtaking Overlook it’s about 1200 steps and about 2 Miles. This hike is rated strenuous be prepared to bring water and sturdy hiking shoes. The platforms were well maintained and signs are helpful to arrive at your destination. There are numerous trails but we did the most popular. There’s a $5.00 parking fee. There’s ample parking and a small visitor center on the right from the entrance.

Loved the hike. Felt more like a real hike over and around the rocks and through the woods than many parks. It definitely is not stroller friendly for those with little ones. Will definitely be returning.

It's very hard to describe the immense natural beauty of this GA state park. It's a gorge formed by two rushing, wide creeks (which merge into one) with 1,000-ft cliff faces. You can see the entire valley from either rim hikes or follow a hike along the creek down the gorge. Stunning vistas either way. Plentiful scenic waterfalls. We visited in late April (just missed the wildflower blooms) and found the weather pleasant. The West Rim campground has nice spacious sites (not too closely spaced) with very clean, modern facilities including bath houses.

You’ll be glad you braved those 1200 stairs to see the waterfalls, absolutely beautiful! Cherokee Falls is closest and I really enjoyed that you could (rock hop) and get right up to the water, feel the cool spray from the waterfall on your skin. If you do make it down to Hemlock Falls as well, highly recommend exploring a bit further onto the gulch trail. Hey you already made it that far! It’s gorgeous along the creek, I visited in spring and saw lots of interesting plant life - so many that we don’t have in Texas! Even if you don’t hike the whole gulch trail (it’s an out and back) I found it was a great experience just crossing the bridge over the rushing water and exploring a mile or so of the canyon floor. Cool designs in the gift shop as well, have fun!

Cloudland Canyon State Park is absolutely breathtaking! I visited the Main Overlook, Overlook #2, and made the hike down to Cherokee Falls—each spot offered stunning views that felt like something out of a postcard. The overlooks were peaceful and gave panoramic views of the canyon that were just incredible, especially with the sunlight filtering through the trees. The hike to Cherokee Falls was definitely worth it—it’s a beautiful waterfall tucked into the canyon with a peaceful, refreshing vibe. The trails were well-marked and the whole park felt well cared for. Highly recommend if you’re looking for scenic beauty and a good dose of nature! P.S : overlook and Cherokee falls hike was easy to moderate hiking . Subscribe nikijourneysplan YouTube page to explore beautiful places.
