Tallulah Gorge State Park temporarily suspends permits

Due to the overwhelming amount of rain Rabun and surrounding areas received, Tallulah Gorge State Park recently announced trail closures and the suspension of Gorge floor permits for at least a week.

According to state park rangers, “the lower portion of the stairs beyond the bridge leading to the viewing platform at the base of hurricane falls is currently closed as well.”

Additionally, the Shortline trail remains closed at this time.
