Touring the Cove
(From the NPS.gov)
Cades Cove Loop Road is open sunrise to sunset each day, but closed to vehicles each Wednesday typically from May through September. (2025 dates: June 18 – September 24)
The 11-mile, one-way loop road circles the cove, offering motorists the opportunity to sightsee at a leisurely pace. Allow at least two to four hours to tour Cades Cove, longer if you hike some of the area’s trails.
Traffic is heavy during the tourist season in summer and fall and on weekends year-round. While driving the loop road, please be courteous to other visitors and use paved pullouts when stopping to enjoy the scenery or view wildlife.
