Falls
Cataract Falls is an easy level hike suitable for all ages. The round trip hike is less than 1/4 mile.
Directions: From Gatlinburg, head west towards Sugarlands Visitor Center at Hwy 441 and Little River Rd. Turn right on 441 at the visitor center, drive less than 1/4 mile and turn left on to the park headquarters access road. Drive a short distance and turn left again, then look for the parking for the waterfall via the Cove Mountain Trail. If the parking is full here you may have to park in the visitor center lot and walk back to this point. The waterfall is best seen after a good rain - like in these shots. In lower flow there may not be any water in the left side of the falls.
