'Cloudland Canyon State Park' is a 3,485 acre (14.10 km²)
Georgia state park located near
Trenton and
Cooper Heights on the western edge of
Lookout Mountain. The park offers rugged
geology and beautiful vistas to visitors, as it straddles a deep
gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton Gulch Creek, where the elevation differs from 1,980 to 800 feet (604 to 244 m). The most spectacular views are found in the picnic area
parking lot, though several additional views can be found along the rim trail. At the bottom of the gorge are located two waterfalls cascading overs layers of
sandstone and
shale into small pools below.
The park, previously known as Sitton Gulch, was purchased by the state of Georgia in sections, beginning in
1939. A project of
Civilian Conservation Corps built the first facilities and signs in the park.
