The scenery is beautiful. We saw many deer and turkey . We stopped and hiked some of the trails . So glad we did since you cannot see everything by simply driving through. Hope to bring our family back!

Saw a black bear and 2 turkeys ! I loved the scenery. It was congested in spots because of the onlookers for the bear . If you bring your dog (we did) you can pull over and let them out on leash.

Get the app 'Cades Cove Driving Tour '. It guides you through the trail and gives you a history lesson on all of the sites. Since there is no service, the app does not require 3G connection or wifi .

Its the best natural park . Est in 1901, the original homes people lived in are here. The hikes to water falls are great and the natural beauty of the mountains and wildlife are wonderful.

Beautiful scenery , and the path itself is moderate in difficulty. They close the path from motorists on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7am-11am, so only cyclists & walkers can pass through. It's great!

It’s a very nice drive, but if you don’t have patience it’s not for you. It’s one lane no passing and can get really really slow. It absolutely takes longer than you think. But you are here to relax

Come for the wild black bears , white tail deer, and elk . Stay for the beautiful Smoky Mountain views .

Protected from the rest of the world , the folks in Cades cove were still using old methods of living well after most of the country had moved on.

Get here early on Saturday and you can bike around the 11 mile loop before they let cars in. Do not bike the loops after it's opened to cars. Out-of-towners are rude and it's dangerous.

Plan for traffic. It's only an 11 mile loop . But if there's a lot of people visiting, it can take a couple hours to complete the loop.

Bring a camera & come in the late afternoon to get the best pics!

Beautiful scenery ....could spend hours here walking the different trails . Saw a lot of wildlife .

Amazing place. The wildlife is beautiful. The cabins and churches that still stand are humbling.

go early in the morning, so you don't get caught in traffic.

This takes longer than you think but it’s a great way to spend the day.

Scenic and beautiful, but not a sign of any wildlife here. No bears , deer, or birds in sight. Maybe they were hiding? The loop drive is nice, but only one lane, so it can drag esp.if cars are slow.

Go early. Sunrise. It takes about an hour to drive from gatlinburg, unless you are Mario andretti. Fishintje abrams creek is worthwhile. Go with a buddy. The limestone upstream create very slippery wa

Worth the drive, however, it can get slow at times, and there is no way to turn around midway.

Opens from sunrise to sunset . Closed during Winter.

Park rangers are fine, mind your manners and be respectful of where you are. This place is absolutely beautiful.

Took us 4+ hours to get through Cade’s Cove with just barely stopping due to wall to wall traffic. Still it was worth it but not for anyone who doesn’t have a lot of patience in traffic!

Only come here to look at scenery; I saw just a deer. Once you enter, you cannot turn back, and getting stuck behind a slow poke is common.

You have got to go here! It is the best!

Such an awesome place. You will always see deer here.

Arrive at 5pm. Best time for bucks and black bear sightings.

Have your camera ready, you are sure to see lots of bear & deer & other wildlife .

Saw bears and deer and great views of the mountains

There is no cell phone reception in cades cove, so plan accordingly.
