Cloudland Canyon is a 3485 square acres state park located in North Georgia. It is one of the largest and most scenic parks located in the state of Georgia. the deep gorge cut through the mountain by Sitton Gulch Creek, where the elevation varies from 800 to over 1,800 feet. At the bottom of the gorge are two waterfalls. Here visitors can watch the water run over the sandstone and shale.
There are several different trails around the park, but some may take several hours. The longest trail is 9 miles. There are also a couple 2 miles trails that are much easier on the legs.
