CADES COVE | GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS TN | Full Tour
Touring Cades Cove of The Great Smoky Mountains of TN, is an 11-mile loop that follows many of the curves and courses that settlers forged years ago. Cades Cove is a lush valley surrounded by mountains and one of the most popular destinations in the Great Smokies. You will likely come upon wildlife, such as the white tail deer, wild turkey, ground hog and an occasional black bear. It takes visitors into another time, experiencing heritage in each building and wilderness around every turn.
Settlers came to this area in 1819, migrating from Virginia. Later from North Carolina, their culture from the old world with knowledge gained from the Indians. By the 1850’s population of Cades Cove was at 685, occupying 137 households. Though this is a driving trail, you must get out of your car and experience the beauty of the trails, wildlife and scenery. Remember that the wildlife is wild and it is unlawful to feed animals and do not drive on or in the fields.
First stop on the loop is (1) John Oliver’s Place. The Oliver’s settled into Cades Cove in 1826. This home remained in the Oliver family until the Park was established in the late 1920’s. Make a left to visit the (2) Primitive Baptist Church. Early settlers established this church in 1827, with only a log building to serve the community until 1887. During the Civil War, public unrest shut the church down. Next see the (3) Methodist Church. This building and its furnishings were reportedly the work of a single man, J.D. McCampbell. A blacksmith and carpenter, he built the church in 115 days for $115. He later became a preacher; serving the area’s Methodist population.
Just after Hyatt Lane you will find the (4) Missionary Baptist Church. It was formed in 1839, when members of the Primitive Baptist Church were dismissed for favoring missionary work. This structure dates from 1894, beginning with a membership of 40 and eventually rising to an enrollment of 115. During the Civil War the church failed to meet for services, but reopened following the war minus Confederate sympathizers. To the right you will find (5) Rich Mountain Road. Once an Indian trail, this 12-mile long trek, was built by the state of Tennessee in the 1920’s. Here a remarkable view of the cove awaits from the top of the path. (6) Cooper Road Trail sits just ahead. This trail once served as a path for wagons, but today it is a 10-mile hiking trail that ends near the Foothills Parkway.
At the end of a half-mile hiking trail you will find (7) Elijah Oliver Place. Surrounded by a smokehouse, barn and springhouse, this home takes visitors back to a different time. The springhouse looks down on the rest of the home, offering a clean water supply and insuring what modest sanitation was available. At the next stop you will find the (8) Cable Mill Area. This area features the Cades Cove Visitors Center, the blacksmith shop, cantilever barn, smokehouse, Gregg-Cable house, the corn crib and the John Cable Barn in Cades CoveMill. The mill is still working and visitors can stop in and sample or purchase corn mill and flour as our ancestors once did. This is a must stop for visitors to the Cove. On up the trail you will find (9) Henry Whitehead Place. Built in 1898, this log house and surrounding dwellings are an example of the roughest and finest log construction in the Smokies.
If you feel like stretching your legs a bit try (10) Cades Cove Nature Trail. This half mile loop takes visitors into the woods to experience how a settler’s family would forge for necessities. Just ahead on the right you will find (11) Dan Lawson Place. Built around 1856, some of the better blade work of the time is represented in this home. Small outbuildings served as family pantries,also used as a granary and smokehouse. You can also stop at (12) Tipton Place. “Hamp” Tipton had this home built shortly after the Civil War. The long shed on the opposite side of the house is an apiary or bee gum stand, offering honey as a common confection. As your tour of the cove comes to a close, you will see (13) Carter Shields Cabin sitting nestled near the end of the loop. Another example of craftsmanship in the area, this small cottage offers visitors one last opportunity to step out of their lives and into the past.

America's Most Visited National Park! - Great Smoky Mountains National Park
USA's Most Visited National Park! - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Tennessee & North Carolina
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a United States National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. It is the most visited national park in the United States.
Attractions and Activities
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a major tourist attraction in the region. Over 9 million tourists and 11 million non-recreational visitors traveled to the park in 2010, more than twice as many visitors as the Grand Canyon, the second most visited national park.[15] Surrounding towns, notably Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Townsend, Tennessee, and Cherokee, Sylva, Maggie Valley, and Bryson City, North Carolina receive a significant portion of their income from tourism associated with the park.
The two main visitors' centers inside the park are Sugarlands Visitors' Center near the Gatlinburg entrance to the park and Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, North Carolina at the eastern entrance to the park. These ranger stations provide exhibits on wildlife, geology, and the history of the park. They also sell books, maps, and souvenirs. Unlike most other national parks, there is no entry fee to the park.
The park has a number of historical attractions. The most well-preserved of these (and most popular) is Cades Cove, a valley with a number of preserved historic buildings including log cabins, barns, and churches. Cades Cove is the single most frequented destination in the national park. Self-guided automobile and bicycle tours offer the many sightseers a glimpse into the way of life of old-time southern Appalachia. Other historical areas within the park include Roaring Fork, Cataloochee, Elkmont, and the Mountain Farm Museum and Mingus Mill at Oconaluftee.

Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Townsend, Tennessee
Cades Cove is a broad valley in the heart of the western part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near the Townsend entrance to the park. Before the creation of the park it was home to a small mountain community. Many of the old homesteads, featuring cabins, churches, a mill and other historical buildings have been preserved. Many features of the park are named after early Cades Cove settlers.
Visitors to Cades Cove usually follow an 11-mile-long one-way loop road that passes many of the historical sites in the valley. Hiking trails and wildlife sightings provide additional lures for the approximately 2 million visitors who come to Cades Cove every year.

An Ordinary Day at Cades Cove Smoky Mountains East Tennessee
Manaseh and Steve take a drive over to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains.
On the way they see a beautiful view from a bridge in Dandridge, stop at a Buffalo farm and get to pass through downtown Gattlinburg. After learning about the Smoky's in Sugarlands Visitor Center, they drive the Cade's cove loop and get to learn about and experience the beautiful park. Of course the visit wouldn't be complete without dinner in Gattlinburg at Bubba Gump Shrimp! There may even be some bonus buffalo at the end!
North Carolina/Tennessee: Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited national park in the United States with over 11.3 million recreational visitors in 2016. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Maine to Georgia. The park was chartered by the United States Congress in 1934 and officially dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a major tourist attraction in the region. Over 11.3 million recreational visitors (tourists) and an additional 11 million non-recreational visitors traveled to, or through, the park in 2016. The recreational figure represents nearly twice as many tourists as the Grand Canyon, which received nearly 6 million visitors the same year. Surrounding towns, notably Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Townsend, Tennessee, and Cherokee, Sylva, Maggie Valley, and Bryson City, North Carolina receive a significant portion of their income from tourism associated with the park.
The two main visitors' centers inside the park are Sugarlands Visitors' Center near the Gatlinburg entrance to the park and Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, North Carolina at the eastern entrance to the park.
U.S. Highway 441 (known in the park as Newfound Gap Road) bisects the park, providing automobile access to many trailheads and overlooks, most notably that of Newfound Gap. At an elevation of 5,048 feet (1,539 m), it is the lowest gap in the mountains and is situated near the center of the park, on the Tennessee/North Carolina state line, halfway between the border towns of Gatlinburg and Cherokee. It was here that in 1940, from the Rockefeller Memorial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicated the national park. On clear days Newfound Gap offers arguably the most spectacular scenes accessible via highway in the park.
The park has a number of historical attractions. The most well-preserved of these (and most popular) is Cades Cove, a valley with a number of preserved historic buildings including log cabins, barns, and churches. Cades Cove is the single most frequented destination in the national park. Self-guided automobile and bicycle tours offer the many sightseers a glimpse into the way of life of old-time southern Appalachia. Other historical areas within the park include Roaring Fork, Cataloochee, Elkmont, and the Mountain Farm Museum and Mingus Mill at Oconaluftee.
The Laurel Falls Trail leads to a powerful 80-foot (24 m) waterfall, and the Clingman's Dome Trail takes visitors on an uphill climb to a fifty-foot observation deck, which on a clear day offers views for many miles over the Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia mountains.

Roadschool fieldtrip around Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountain National Park
After moving from North Carolina to Tennessee, we decided since it was so close, to take a drive up to Cade's Cove in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It was a winding drive up into the mountains where we drove a 11 mile loop around settlements from the 1800s. The scenery was beautiful, and it was good to get out in the mountains for some fresh air.
We stopped at the visitors center and got Jr Ranger Books for the kids to complete while we are in the area.
The area is beautiful

Clingmans Dome - Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN
My second hike of the weekend on June 17, and my final hike to finish the Carolina Lookout Tower and South Beyond 6000 Challenges. I had some bad heel blisters, so I made this hike shorter than my original plan, but it still had to be 5+ miles to qualify. I began at the Fork Ridge Trailhead on Clingmans Dome Rd in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and connected with the Mountains-to-Sea Trail and Appalachian Trail. Heading west the AT immediately climbs to the top of Mt. Collins (6,196 feet), the 39th SB6K peak. From there it is a long, pleasant stroll through Collins Gap, the low point of the hike. It is a long, gradual climb from Collins Gap to the top of Clingmans Dome (6,643 feet). As my final peak on both challenges, reaching the summit was anticlimactic considering the crowds and the cloud cover. You would think the highest peak in the Smokies and the 3rd highest in the East would be more exciting. I'll have to return in the winter when the road is closed.
The large clouds mostly obscured the NE views of Kephart and LeConte and west views of Thunderhead Mt. Everything else was hazy. On the bright side, it was nice and cool at the summit. I dropped down to the parking area, where I was severely disappointed in the offerings at the visitors center. All they sold was warm bottled water and a snack cup. I had high hopes for a soda or Gatorade, and thus only carried 1 liter of water. With all of the tired, sweaty tourists you think cold drinks would be a moneymaker. From there I took the Clingmans Dome Bypass Trail, and re-summited Clingmans Dome with more cloud cover. On my way back, as I approached Mt. Collins, I got caught in an unnerving thunderstorm with lightning crashing overhead. I crouched for a few minutes during the worst part, then scuffled through the muddy mess of a trail during a torrential downpour that lasted nearly an hour. At this point I think every hike in the last 2 months has ended with heavy rain.
Hike was 9 miles with 2,393 feet elevation gain in 4 hours and 40 minutes.

A Man Was Hiking in the Smoky Mountains When He Stumbled Across a Seriously Creepy Discovery
Jordan Liles has a passion for photography. His hero is a legendary filmmaker and actor, Sir Charlie Chaplin. Liles is a director himself, but he is most well known for his photographs of abandoned places. When it comes to abandoned locations in the United States, there are plenty of them. As America has evolved, many places didn't. Some places are left abandoned because they had prosperous beginnings only to fail. This has left these place abandoned and damaged.
Some places are left behind for more sinister reasons. One example is the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park located in West Virginia. It was built in the 1920s on the site of an ancient indigenous burial ground. Shortly after the amusement park opened, six people died. It is believed that it had something to do with spirits on the fairgrounds. After these deaths, the amusement park was left abandoned and in disrepair. Today, the only visitors of the site are people looking to get scared on Halloween.
Jordan stumbled upon one of his creepiest finds in 2013. The site is in Elkmont, Tennessee, which is hidden deep within the woodlands of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Jordan is a Memphis native, and he has been to the Smokies plenty of times. He lived in the area for 26 years and still visits the park often when he has time. It was during one of his hiking expeditions that he found something incredible. A man was hiking in the Smoky Mountains when he stumbled across a seriously creepy discovery.
During Jordan's trip, he went up an unnamed gravel road. At the end of the road, he found an abandoned neighborhood and a hotel. Some of the buildings were built over 100 years ago. One of the first structures that he came across was an abandoned cabin. It may have once been cozy, but today, it is an empty shell. When Jordan got closer to the cabin, he noticed that the windows were broken and the floorboards were pulled up. The cabin didn't look safe, so he didn't want to go inside. In his video, he is heard saying, I don't really think I want to go in there. It looks like the kitchen is on a slant which means that the property is not in good condition. From the outside, he could see decaying shelves and toppled containers all over the floor.
After leaving the cabin, Jordan continued to explore. He went through some nearby trees and down a set of stone steps. He saw another home. Inside, there was a washer and dryer that had turned upside down on the broken floorboards. It was difficult to tell how long it had been since anyone lived there. He was sure that the abandoned town had much more to see; he just needed to keep exploring.
As Jordan continued exploring, he found another house. This one had steps. It was missing many of its walls, and there was a screen installed to replace the missing planks. The screens were torn and tattered. The screen made it possible for him to get a good look inside. There was old furniture in the house along with broken fixtures. The walls were stripped down to the bare wood and loose planks. Any doors that were once in the home are not gone.
As Jordan walked down the gravel road, he came upon three more houses. It looked as though vandals had broken into one of the houses. There was a lock that had been smashed, leaving the doors wide open. This house wasn't in such disrepair that entering wouldn't be too dangerous. This home was in much better shape than the rest, and there will still blinds hanging from some of the windows. There was also a shower curtain hanging in the rust filled tub. The toilet had a matching seat cover. The bathroom was filthy, but it was in much better shape than the other houses in the ghost town.
Jordan came upon a large structure that he thought could have been a hotel. There was an enormous stone fireplace behind plenty of large windows. He assumed that it was a social area or the reception area. The stairs had collapsed so he couldn't go upstairs and check out the rooms.
Finally, when Jordan came upon a sign, he figured out what the town once was. It was once the Wonderland Club, which was a very prosperous vacation community. When it was built, the owner chose this site because it was close to a busy logging town. It was open to the public in 1912 and operated for seven years before private owners purchased the land and the structures. The idea was for a group of men from Knoxville, TN to create their own private venture. Unfortunately, the plans were rejected. Instead, they created an exclusive social club called The Wonderland Club. In 1925, the logging industry in the area died, and people couldn't afford to visit the Wonderland Club. Soon, the buildings fell into disrepair.
Jordan is shocked that he stumbled on an entire vacation property accidentally. Fortunately, he had his camera with him and was able to get some amazing shots. This is just one of America's many abandoned properties. If you look hard enough, you never know what you are going to find.
