Cade's Cove is a great way to explore the Smoky Mountains! You can drive through the scenic loop for amazing mountain views. We almost always see a bear or two during our drive! There are also several hiking trails that are accessible from the loop. You will need a parking pass for the park if you plan on parking for longer than 15 minutes-these can be purchased at the Townsend Visitor's Center, Great Smokies Welcome Center in Townsend, Cades Cove Welcome Center, or at several kiosks available upon entering Cade's Cove.
Abrams Falls is a moderate 5 mile, out-and-back trail in Cades Cove. It is a beautiful waterfall and takes between 2-4 hours depending on your pace!
This is a short 1.3 mile out and back trail with a waterfall at the end. Great for families with kids!
This is a 1.6 mile out-and-back trail. It is a little more challenging than Lynn Camp Falls due to rocky terrain.
Peaceful Side Social is a Brewery and Restaurant in the center of Townsend. They have a great casual atmosphere and the ability to dine indoors or outdoors surrounded by the mountains.
