- The name "smoky"
apparently came from the bluish haze that frequently hovers
over the mountain like a blanket. One square mile of
timbered slopes releases over one million gallons of water
into the air each day. The Smokies were so hazy, the
Cherokee Indians did not use smoke signals but had runners
deliver messages. Smoke signal would get lost when they went
above the tree tops.
- The weather is always
beautiful in the Smokies and every season has something
unique to offer visitors.
-
- Spring Time
The weather is generally mild. Spring sweeps through
mountains like a green firestorm. Bees swarm, flowers bloom
A cold snap can still come when the dogwood trees have put
out their starched white blossoms. Mountain folk call it
"dogwood winter."
Summer Time
Its a great time to head for the mountains and sit in a cool
clear mountain stream or sit on your front porch in a
rocking chair with a mountain breeze blowing through your
chair.
- Fall Time
Warm days for exploring and hiking to your favorite mountain
trails, cool nights for your romantic settings around the
cabin's fireplace.
Winter Time
Winter is a quiet, restorative time in the mountains. Its a
great time for you also to heal with nature. Though winters
are generally fairly mild, extreme temperatures are
possible. By November snow can visit the high country. A
foot or two can fall in a winter storm, normally snowfall is
measured in inches. Florida license plates are common when
the snow flies, the occupants of the vehicles laughing and
throwing snowballs. Join the fun!!!

CADES COVE
- This
beautiful, sheltered valley is a mixture of forests, meadows, and an
outdoor museum of pioneer life. Remnants of a more primitive way of
life still exists in Cades Cove. Everyone can enjoy the Cove, whether
by car, on foot, by horseback, or bicycle. Cades
Cove is the best place to view the wildlife around the 11 mile loop
road and stop and see the pioneer's cabins and churches of the era in
history. It is a visit that will remain with you during your
lifetime.
This mountain cove consists of 6,853 acres preserved as a historic
area within our national park.
Spring, summer, fall or
winter, you will not want to miss Cades Cove while traveling through
the Smokies.
- Auto Tour
Without leaving your car, you may drive the eleven-mile, one-way,
paved Loop Road. Deer and wild turkeys are frequently seen on this
drive, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Scenery
along the way includes three churches and cemeteries which once served
residents of Cove, the Cable Mill area, and several pioneer cabins and
houses which have been preserved.
-
- Cable Mill
Cable Mill is a water-powered grist mill which demonstrates the
grinding of corn into meal. There is a Visitor Center at the site with
restroom facilities. We recommend that as you enter Cades Cove, you
stop and purchase a copy of the auto tour booklet published by the
Great Smoky Mountain Natural History Association. It is available in a
stand by the roadside at the beginning of the loop road and also at
the Ranger's Station. The cost is about $1.00.
- Bicycles
For touring Cades Cove at a more leisurely pace, bicycles may be
rented (April through October) at the Cades Cove bike shop. On
Saturdays from June through Labor Day, the Loop Road is closed to
autos, and it is bicycles only from sunrise until 10 a.m.
-
- Horseback Riding
Once the quickest mode of transportation in the mountains, you may
rent horses by the hour at the Cades Cove Riding Stables. Guides will
take you along cool, wooded trails, over small mountain brooks, and up
to vistas of trees and wildflowers.
-
- Hayrides
A fun and unusual way to see Cades Cove is from the back of a hay
wagon from April through October. Departing from the Cades Cove
Stables, the hayrides are available beginning at 6 p.m. Groups of 15
or more may reserve hay wagon for day trips beginning as early as 10
a.m.
-
- Trails and Hiking
Only on foot can one really get a taste of the wilderness that the
pioneers fought , depended on for raw materials, and most of all,
loved. Abrams Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the National
Park, is reached only a 5 mile (round trip) hike. Longer trails to
Gregory Bald or Spence Field are available for more veteran hikers.
-
- Nature Lovers
Nature lovers can take the 1/3-mile self guided nature trail located
half-mile behind the Cable Mill parking area on the Loop Road.
-
- Picnicking
The picnic area is located near the campground . Grills and tables are
provided, or you may pack a lunch and eat along a trail in the area.
