Tallulah River Road Construction to begin

The U.S. Forest Service will begin road repairs to address damage on Tallulah River Road on the Chattahoochee National Forest on August 22, 2022, causing intermittent road closures, traffic delays, and campground closures.  Road closures will occur between 9am to 12pm and 2-5pm Monday through Thursday each week until October.  Tate Branch and Sandy Bottoms campgrounds will be closed Monday through Thursday but will be open to visitor use Friday through Sunday. Visitors will still be able to stay at nearby Tallulah River Campground, but may also consider Sarah’s Creek Campground or West Fork Campground on the scenic waterways approximately 15 miles east of Clayton.  In 2019 Tallulah River Road experienced significant damage after heavy rains, including a landslide that impacted approximately 40 feet of roadway. Staff for the Chattooga River Ranger District made immediate repairs to help stabilize the remaining roadway until these long-term repairs begin.
