Cataract Falls

Cataract Falls is a popular tourist attraction located on Cove Mountain Trail in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, United States. The institution is known for its stunning waterfalls, including Grotto, Laurel, Abrams, Rainbow, and many others. With over 200,000 visitors annually, the park offers well-worn trails that lead to these beautiful natural wonders.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where Cataract Falls is situated, is abundant with rainfall and elevation gradients, making it the perfect environment for waterfalls to thrive. Visitors can enjoy a variety of waterfalls, both large and small, throughout the park's rivers and streams.

Safety is important when visiting Cataract Falls, as drowning is a leading cause of death in the park. Visitors are advised to plan ahead and learn about water safety before swimming or tubing in park waters.

From the 20-foot high Abrams Falls to the 120-foot tall Mingo Falls, there are plenty of waterfalls to explore in the park. Visitors can also purchase official trail maps at the park's visitor centers or online to help guide their hikes to these natural wonders.

In addition to enjoying the waterfalls, visitors can support the park by purchasing books, maps, and guides from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's official online store, operated by the nonprofit Smokies Life. Proceeds from purchases go towards educational, scientific, and historical projects within the park.

"I was lucky enough to go when there were not many people out. The trail was lovely and easy to navigate. I parked and went to the falls, which were very close, so I had to back track to do the rest of the trail. The trail follows a stream that comes from the Falls. I saw a beaver damn and some cute squirrels packing their jaws with wet leaves. There was a nature trail connected to that which had labels to identify different species of trees and a cute old cabin on it. It looped back to the Cataract Falls trail and took me back to where I parked. It was a wet day, so I had to go around a little bit of water, but it was no bother."

"This waterfall was close to our cabin and we decided to take a short hike and have a look around. It was only about a tenth of a mile from the trailhead and there was lots to see. I highly recommend a visit to Cataract Falls Trail"

"This is a really short and easy trail near the Sugarlands Visitor Center in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's just outside of Gatlinburg. When it hasn't rained much, this waterfall may just be a trickle. However, when it has rained, it can be nicely flowing falls. We visited it the day after Christmas, and it was frozen and gorgeous!"

"Nice trail and water fall. My kids enjoyed climbing up to see a better view. We bought a week pass for the Great Smokey Mountains at the visitor center inside the entrance of the part. I liked the park a lot. It is a lot of driving and a little crowded when we went in July."
