Stairs down to hanging bridge and river are well cared for. About 300 steps to bridge and 250 to river... then back up was a workout. Loop trails offer nice views and are about 2 mile loop. Mountain bikers can be seen there. Five dollar parking fee. Nice visitor's center, gift shop, educational display and restrooms.

Beautiful hike! Several waterfalls and a beautiful gorge. Lots and lots of steps if you do the entire trail, but worth it. There are lookouts with minimal steps, but if you go down to the bridge or the lower falls, be prepared for a lot of steps going down (and of course, back up)!

Moderate Hike: Tallulah Falls is absolutely beautiful—definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. The views of the falls are stunning and the whole place has a peaceful vibe, especially if you get there early. We didn’t get a chance to take the stairs all the way down and back up, so just a heads up—come prepared if you plan to tackle those! It’s definitely a workout. The best time to visit is during the early morning or first half of the day if you want to avoid the crowds. Also, keep in mind that some of the trail hikes are closed for about two weeks in spring and again in fall, so it’s good to check ahead before planning your trip.

We loved Tallulah falls State Park. We are older, and I have hip problems, so I can't walk very far on inclines. The North Rim Trail was just enough for me and I got to see overlooks 1-3. It's such a nice hike, and the falls are beautiful. Not much has started blooming yet, but I imagine it will be beautiful in a few weeks. The Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center is really nice. We were disappointed that the equipment in the theater was not working, so we couldn't see the film, but maybe next time. The gift shop is nice, too, with a great variety of souvenirs. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. Maybe next time I can hike farther and see the film!

We had a good time hiking the rim trail. The stairs are definitely a challenge. Suspension bridges are always fun. Decent amount of people but not crowded. Late March, high 60s was just right, I can't imagine how hot it gets. The interpretive center was pretty neat, well done, with a nice balance of history and nature. We especially liked the north side of the park by the beach, the trails out that way didn't have the dramatic views of the gorge but the lake is beautiful and there's a nice easy bike and walking trail that way.
