Hidden Gems
When in Georgia, you’re surrounded by one-of-a-kind attractions that span our state’s history and heritage. We call them “hidden gems.”
Visit Tallulah Gorge, located in the Georgia Mountains, and admire one of the oldest natural sites of its kind in North America. Running almost two miles in length and 1,000 feet deep, Tallulah has five waterfalls with breathtaking views that you must see to believe.
Another Georgia “gem” you must explore is Providence Canyon, near Lumpkin in the southern part of the State. Hike throughout Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon,” and explore the beauty of this park’s 15 finger-like canyons and its 1,000+ acres of pine and mixed hardwood forests. Filled with spectacular views, the largest gorge is measured at about one-half mile long with some canyons reaching 150 feet deep and more than 400 feet wide.
Looking for something a little less mainstream? Experience Finster’s Paradise Gardens Park and Museum in Summerville, north of Atlanta. Founded by the late Reverend Howard Finster, a truly one-of-a-kind, visionary artist, Finster’s Paradise Gardens Park and Museum is a place where you can dive into the artist’s vision and experience his spiritual message. Surround yourself in Finster’s original prints, silkscreen t-shirts and many other examples of his unique folk art.
Come explore these, and all our hidden gems. Just as a picture can be worth a thousand words, Georgia’s gems are worth a thousand memories.
