Waterfalls of the Smokies: Cataract Falls

From the Sugarlands Visitor Center, drive on US 441 toward Gatlinburg and turn left into the Park Headquarters on an unmarked side road 150 yards behind the visitor center. Take the first left beyond the parking area. The Cove Mountain Trail begins on the far side of the stone bridge. Cataract Falls is one tenth mile up the trail.
