Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, this is one of the most scenic parks in the state, offering rugged geology and exceptional hiking. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton Gulch Creek, and elevation differs from 800 to 1,980 feet. Overnight guests can choose from new yurts, cottages near the canyon edge, a modern campground and spacious, walk-in tent sites.

Backpackers can enjoy camping in a hemlock grove on the 2-mile Backcountry Loop. The most spectacular view into the canyon is an easy walk from the picnic area; however, hikers can also explore a rim trail or journey to the canyon floor by a series of staircases. Two waterfalls cascade over layers of sandstone and shale into pools below, with their flow depending on recent rains. This Waterfalls Trail is part of the popular Canyon Climbers Club. Backpackers, mountain bikers and equestrians can explore several miles on the Cloudland Connector Trail.

On September 10, 17, and 25 at 10 a.m. eastern time join a Naturalist at the Interpretive Center to learn a variety of frontier skills. Learn to craft a fire using flint and steel, and watch a demonstration of "fire-cake" being cooked over hot coals the way soldiers would have prepared them during the revolutionary war. After learning these historic techniques, practice making fire with a modern day Ferro Rod and campfire cooking with a cast iron skillet. Then make your own cordage using natural materials.
There is a $5.00 per person fee for this program. Duration =2 hrs.
