A Southern Appalachian wilderness of cliffs, waterfalls, and restored hardwood forest in the Chattahoochee National Forest

Raven Cliffs Wilderness

Raven Cliffs Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness area in the rugged northern Georgia mountains, administered by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the National Wilderness Preservation System. Established in 1986, the wilderness spans roughly 9,115 acres across the southern Appalachian ridges of Lumpkin, Union, and White Counties in northeastern Georgia, near the small town of Cleveland. The wilderness preserves a landscape defined by steep rock cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and a recovered Southern Appalachian forest that was once logged in the early twentieth century but has since regrown into dense hardwood stands dotted with scattered pines. The signature feature is Raven Cliff Falls, one of the most visited natural attractions in the Georgia mountains, set within the broader Raven Cliffs Scenic Area. Raven Cliffs is recognized both for its striking scenic character and for its ecological recovery value. Trout-bearing streams such as Boggs Creek thread through the valleys, supporting angling and wildlife habitat, while the elevated ridgelines, including Levelland Mountain, anchor one of the more intact tracts of protected high-country forest in the region.
