 Hiking to Abram Falls:

Directions To Cades Cove:

From Townsend take TN 321 to the Park entrance, turn right on Little River Road to Cades Cove. From Gatlinburg, turn right at the Sugarlands Visitor Center onto Little River Road and on to Cades Cove, Turn right between signposts 10 and 11 at the sign for Abrams Falls


Point of departure:

Drive along the one-way Cades Cove Loop Road 4.9 miles, and turn right onto a gravel road , just before reaching the Cades Cove Visitors Center. Take the gravel road to the large parking lot for the trailhead. Signs mark the area well. The Abrams Falls Trail begins at the wooden bridge at the end of the parking area.Bring water along with you for the hike! Never drink the water from a Park stream without boiling it first. The streams in the park contain bacteria that will make you sick.

Summary:

A fairly easy 5-mile trek (round-trip) that is ideal for the beginner or a family. It will take about three hours, depending on your skill level. Since the departure point for this hike lies within Cades Cove the most visited "must see" area of the Smoky's, expect plenty of company along the trail. Even so the hike to Abrams Falls is more than reward enough for the effort. The trail to Abrams Falls parallels Abrams Creek most of the way, except when Abrams Creek reaches Arbutus Ridge, a stretch of the creek that is popular with trout fishermen. At mile 2.5 you will cross Wilson Branch and take the short side trail to the falls.


Elevation:

You will climb to approximately 1,800 feet at one point, but when you arrive at the falls you are actually 300 feet lower than when you started.
