Abrams Falls Trail - Cades Cove

Although Abrams Falls is only 20 feet high, the large volume of water rushing over falls more than makes up for its lack of height. The long, deep pool at its base is very picturesque. The waterfall and creek are named for a Cherokee chief whose village once stood several miles downstream. The trail to the falls traverses pine-oak forest on the ridges and hemlock and rhododendron forest along the creek. The hike is 5 miles roundtrip and considered moderate in difficulty. Take sufficient water and pack energy bars. Trail is very nice and scenery is beautiful. Fall was is full glory as it was rainy season. #falls #waterfalls #smokymountain #mountainview #trails #hike
