Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of America’s most visited national parks. It offers endless opportunities for exploring natural and cultural history. These ancient mountains are filled with a variety of plant and animal life. Laurel Falls is a 60ft. waterfall and one of the most popular destinations in the park. It is a pleasant hike along a paved trail. The pavement is uneven and not recommended for wheelchairs. The trail crosses over the center of the waterfall and the pavement ends. Finding parking can be difficult so get an early start.
