About the Abrams Falls Trailhead
Abrams Falls Trailhead is a popular tourist attraction located in Townsend, Tennessee, United States. The 5-mile roundtrip hike to Abrams Falls is considered moderate in difficulty and takes you through a picturesque pine-oak forest on the ridges and hemlock and rhododendron forest along the creek. The 20-foot waterfall may not be the tallest, but the large volume of water rushing over the falls is impressive. The long, deep pool at the base of the falls adds to the beauty of the area. The waterfall and creek are named after a Cherokee chief whose village once stood downstream.
Visitors are reminded to carry drinking water and wear sturdy hiking shoes as portions of the trail are rocky. Swimming in the pool at the base of the falls is extremely dangerous due to strong currents and an undertow, so it is prohibited. Pets and bicycles are also not allowed on the trail. It is important to stay on the designated path and not climb on rocks around the waterfall, as this has led to accidents and even fatalities in the past.
Black bears are sometimes active in the area, so visitors are advised to be cautious and follow safety guidelines. Pets are not allowed on this trail, but there are other pet-friendly trails in the park. Abrams Falls Trailhead is a beautiful and scenic spot for nature lovers and hikers to explore, but it is important to respect the rules and regulations in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Reviews of Abrams Falls Trailhead
"Located on the cades cove loop, this trail is a great hike if you have some time to explore while visiting the smoky mountains. It's a moderately difficult trail that goes along the mountains with spectacular views all around. Many parts of the trail go along the river, making for an even more scenic hike in the mountains."
"A wonderful experience for the entire family - the hike to Abram Falls much worth it at #10 - overall was a chilly day under 40s and it got warm at the top 2miles into it towards the falls. Bring a snack ans water."
"Great trail but it was a pain in the neck to get to the trailhead through the Cascade scenic loop. It was a week day but still bumper to bumper and lots of people walked and biked on the loop trail between 10am to 5pm. Avoid at all costs so you can hike more of other trails. No bears spotted but lots of people and cars."
"Worth the walk. Some elevations can be steep. The falls is fine, not so amazing, but the walk is worth. Bring water and snack. The restroom at the start of the track is terrible. Find yourself something else."
"This is a great trail to hike. It is a 2-1/2 mile one way. The trail is challenging and rewarding. There is a lot of incline along with decline and flat walking. No water crossings but some stones that are wet that are slippery. Scenery along the way is absolutely gorgeous! The water fall is beautiful but not a very large one. Overall this is a great waterfall with a challenging trail to get there."
