Abrams Falls Trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Abrams Falls Trail is a moderate round-trip hike that begins near the Cades Cove Loop. The trail winds through pine-oak forests and alongside Abrams Creek, offering scenic views of hemlock trees and rhododendrons. Hikers will encounter rocky terrain and several footbridges, with the final reward being Abrams Falls, a 20-foot waterfall with an impressive water flow. While the falls are stunning, swimming is prohibited due to strong currents. It's a well-traveled, peaceful route, ideal for nature lovers seeking a blend of tranquility and mild adventure. #Hiking #Waterfall #River #Forest #Nature
