Shortline Trail - Tallulah Falls Rail Trail

Run or walk the Shortline Trail and explore the quiet, scenic shores of the Tallulah River just north of the gorge. This is one trail I highly recommend. Just north of the gorge, the Tallulah River flows dramatically different from the familiar waterfall-filled, canyon-carving river that thunders through the depths of Tallulah Gorge. The Shortline Trail explores the shores of these serene stretches of the Tallulah River north of the gorge, running a paved, nearly flat course on the river’s banks. You can even see signs of an old rail line and the train tracks that once ran this same path.
