Cataract Falls GSMNP

The trail leading to Cataract Falls is approximately 1.1 miles long and considered a moderate hike. Along the way hikers will encounter lush forests, wildflowers, and scenic views of the surrounding mountains. The trail is well-maintained and features a footbridge that crosses over a small stream. Once hikers reach Cataract Falls, they will be treated to a beautiful waterfall cascading down a series of rock ledges. The falls are approximately 25 feet tall and create a peaceful atmosphere with the sound of water flowing.
