Cades Cove Loop Road:
To more fully experience the wide expanse of Cades Cove,
many Tennessee visitors choose to drive the winding, loop
road that carves through the park. This is an 11-mile

experience the stunning diversity of plant life on display
throughout the area. This is a good idea considering the

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has a greater
diversity of trees than any other park in the North America.
That abundance will be on clear display as you drive the
Cades Cove loop. The loop is generally open from dawn
until dusk. If you want to stop and enjoy the view on
foot, there are numerous pull-offs along the route that
allow you to get out and enjoy the view. When planning
for your Cades Cove loop drive, be sure to allow for plenty
of time to make it there and back. During high season,
the drive can take up to 3 full hours to complete.
