Water Gauge Road

Situated in the Chattooga River District of the Chattahoochee National Forest, just outside Tallulah Falls, Georgia, lies Water Gauge Road - a relatively smooth gravel Forest Service road offering access to the famous Chattooga River. The border between Georgia and South Carolina, the Chattooga River is a whitewater river where the 1972 movie Deliverance starring Burt Reynolds was filmed. A short hike down the Water Gauge Hiking Trail at the end of the road leads to numerous access points to the river for fishing, watching the whitewater rafters or just relaxing along the river.
