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, weather by car, on
foot, by horseback, or bicycle. 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.
