Mother Nature’s
Majesty Awaits in the Great Smoky Mountains
It’s no wonder more than nine million visitors
enjoy Great Smoky Mountains National Park each
year. More than 500,000 acres of forest land
teeming with biological diversity await you in
the most visited National Park in the country.
Explore the spectacular display of 5,500 plant
species, over 200 species of birds, and 38
reptilian species as well as amphibians, fish
and mammals, including 1,800 American Black
Blears. This year marks the 75th anniversary of
the establishment of Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, where there has never been an
entrance fee. With over 800 miles of adjacent
hiking trails, ranging from novice to expert
backcountry backpacker trails, dozens of
awe-inspiring waterfalls and streams laden with
mountain trout, Gatlinburg is an adventure
lover’s paradise
