Cades Cove's easternmost trail. Anthony Creek Trail begins
in the Cades Cove picnic area. Vehicles must leave the area one hour before
sunset. To stay overnight, park by the ranger station. The trail follows
Anthony Creek to its headwaters. After three miles the trail reaches
backcountry campsite #9. To camp in the backcountry requires reservations.
After another mile the path merges with Bote Mountain Trail. Destinations
include Spence Field, the Appalachian Trail, and Rocky Top. Rocky Top holds
one of the Park's best vistas. |
