Cades Cove
Cades Cove is a remote valley located on the Tennessee part of the Smokies. The valley was home to many settlers before the national park was formed. Today it’s the most popular destination for people who visit the Smoky Mountains. It draws in more than two million visitors every year because of its well-preserved homesteads, scenic mountain views, and abundant wildlife.
This 11-mile loop is a peaceful driving tour and can also be used for bicycling. Throughout the Cove, you will see historical buildings, including the rustic log homes of its original residents, churches, a grist mill, molasses-making equipment, and cemeteries. Its historic district is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Very Beautiful.
