A paradise near the Georgia state line
Cloudland Canyon State Park, 122 Cloudland Canyon Road in Rising Fawn, Ga., is less than an hour’s drive from Chattanooga.
• The park is known for its beautiful walking trails around the canyon and lustrous waterfalls. If you watch the creeks around the park long enough, you might see an extreme creek boater soar over the falls.
