Additional Information

According to Cherokee legend, Lover’s Leap was named for a tragic love story in which two young lovers from rival tribes leapt to their deaths rather than be separated. Today, it remains one of the most photographed and visited spots in Rock City, famous for its panoramic views where, on a clear day, visitors can see seven states.
