Abrams Falls

On a recent visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park I had the opportunity to hike a very scenic trail that led to Abrams Falls, a 20-foot waterfall that forms a large pool, perfect for swimming and wading.

To get to the trail head take the Cades Cove Loop road about mid-way around (between signposts 10 and 11) and turn right into a large parking lot where the trail begins. This is a family friendly hike and it's rated as easy. Elevations start at 1,700 feet and end at 1,500 and the distance is approximately 2.5 miles one way.

So bring a picnic lunch and enjoy an afternoon swim in the cool waters of Abrams Falls with the family. It'll be a highlight of your Smoky Mountain adventure which you'll remember for years to come.
