About

This 5-mile roundtrip trail leads to Abrams Falls, where the volume of water creates impressive power despite the modest 20-foot height. The trail traverses varied terrain with some creek crossings and moderate elevation changes. Starting from Cades Cove, factor in the loop road drive time. The swimming hole below the falls looks inviting but has claimed lives. observe posted warnings. One of the most rewarding hikes accessible from Cades Cove.
