Cloudland Canyon State Park

Cloudland Canyon State Park occupies 3,485 acres on the western edge of Lookout Mountain near Rising Fawn, where Sitton Gulch Creek carved one of Georgia’s largest and most dramatic canyons. The deep gorge, cut through sandstone and shale, includes waterfalls such as Cherokee Falls and Hemlock Falls and reflects a geological history shaped by ancient seas, mountain uplift, and long erosion. Formerly known as Sitton Gulch or Trenton Gulf, the area began becoming a state park in 1938 and was designated in 1939, with early facilities built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It remains a major scenic and recreation destination with trails, camping, and lodging.
