Reviews of Abrams Falls
"If you love waterfalls, you'll like this trail. Abrams is not the tallest of the falls you might see in Smokey Mountains but definitely one of the biggest especially in volume. The falls form a pool in front making it one of the most accessible places if you would like to swim and relax for a bit. Difficulty: Moderate Distance: 5 miles (round trip) There is plenty of parking available."
"The trail is well maintained. I’d call it moderate as there are several long uphill stretches. Worth the hike to see a beautiful waterfall up close! You will need a parking permit which is only $15/wk for anywhere in the park."
"This is a beautiful hike! It's about 5 miles round trip so be ready with water and snacks! It took us about 3.5 hours to do the whole trip. It is worth it because it is beautiful to go through and see the waterfall. It's also a long drive to get there, it took us about 2 hours to get there. There is only a $5 parking fee"
"This is a "must do" hike in Cades Cove in the Smokies. The last time we did this hike was about 19 years ago, and I didn't remember it being so gorgeous! The Fall colors sure helped. I did remember how beautiful and interesting Abrams Falls itself is, though! It's a 5-mile out and back (round trip) hike, and it's rated moderate. We hike a lot, but aren't fast hikers, and it took us about 2 hours, 35 minutes (round trip), including about 20 minutes at the falls."
"I'm not an experienced hiker but it was worth it. My wife and I want to go back in the fall! The waterfall was incredible. We even ran into a bear on the way back out! We ate lunch by the falls such a relaxing time. We parked by the visitors center, walked down by some of the historical houses and barns and walked by the creek to get to the trail. It added an extra mile and a half but worth it. We laurel falls the year before. Both places are great! Looking Forward to next year and finding another area to hike!"
