Situated in the midst of Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Abrams Falls is the most popular waterfall in the Park.
The trail from Cades Cove will take hikers up to the waterfall and navigate them through a pine-oak forest throughout the ridge tops. Hemlock and rhododendron thickets can also be seen close to the creek edge. By the 2.5-mile mark the trail crosses over another waterway named Wilson Creek that will take hikers to the 20 foot plunge of Abrams Falls.
To reach the Abrams Falls trailhead, drive five miles on the Cades Cove Loop.
Once you’ve crossed Abrams Creek, turn right onto a gravel road which runs through a grassy field.
