Exploring the Tallulah Falls Shortline Trail | Georgia

This trail is a real gem! Cut through solid rock and featuring a magnificent suspension bridge, this 3-mile out-and-back trail hugs the Tallulah River and is just a mile or so from Tallulah Gorge State Park. If you visit, don't forget to check out the General Store. It's like stepping back in time!
I'm Scott. I explore, review and rate bike trails on this channel...and hopefully find a little joy in the journey. Thanks for watching!

    Oops! I said that Tallulah Falls was in Northwest Georgia. Nope… it’s in NorthEAST Georgia!

    Would love if it were longer, but maybe it will make our list for a Sunday afternoon excursion. Thx for sharing!

    You mentioned Deliverance, but that 1956 Disney Movie, The Great Locomotive Chase was also filmed there. Using the Tallulah Falls Railroad of course.

    Love your videos! I’ve walked that trail and yeah… it’s bumpy 😀. Wish they could rebuild the railroad bridge to extend the trail.

    Scott, hands down one of your greatest videos to date! Congratulations. Excellent filming, and history of the location. Hope to make it there someday, Lord willing. Maybe we'll come by and pay a visit have a cup of coffee and a few packs of cigarettes! Talk to you later, your brother in Christ. 👨‍🦽 Sorry I couldn't find an image of a bicyclist. And oh yeah! Here's to Tallulaha! 🍾

    Thanks for the kind words. I can’t imagine anybody smoking 120 cigarettes in a day. But when I was looking for photos of her…she usually had a cigarette in her hand. 🤷‍♂️😆

    Thanks! The hiking in the gorge itself is amazing...but strenuous. The waterfalls are great. You guys would enjoy it.

    You can also do a hike around the rim of the gorge and get great views down into it without having to go up and down 1,000 steps on those stairs!

    Great video as always! I've been to the SP, but not this trail. I'll check it out next time I'm in the area. I appreciate your work, brotha! But I don't appreciate that you inadvertently got a song stuck in my head...."Come On, Ring Those Bells" and I bet you know the artist haha!

    I was ready to head down there. Then, for some reason, I heard a banjo playing in the back of my head and had this urge to just stay home. Don’t know what that’s about. Good job Scott.
