Cloudland Canyon State Park
The park is located on the Cumberland Plateau, atop Lookout Mountain. On the summit of Lookout Mountain the waters of Daniel Creek and Bear Creek cut gorges through the rock, converging to form Sitton Gulch Creek.
The canyon is more than 1,000 feet (300 m) deep, ranging in elevation from 800 feet (240 m) to over 1,800 feet (550 m); the park's peak elevation is 1,980 feet (600 m). The bottom of Cloudland canyon contains a slope of rock talus, which are sandstone and shale fragments. The valley floor is also rich in fossil-bearing limestone.
