Gatlinburg, TN and surrounding areas - trails

After spending hours of digging through threads to find current and relevant info, I've decided to start a new conversation.

Every fall I take a short trip to a family's cabin in Gatlinburg, TN. This year, I'll have my Tacoma and have extra time to explore some trails (if available). Does aynone know of any trails in that area? I'm trying to stay within an hour's drive of Galtinburg.

 

Windrock isn't too far from you

 

About a two hour drive. Not too bad. Thanks.

Know of any non-park trails? Really wouldn't mind a leisurely cruise down some dirt roads that lead through some decent scenery.

 

If your looking for like dirt road type deals get on the fs website. They list all the national forest fire roads and stuff

 

Pardon my ignorance, but do you have a direct link? I haven't been able to locate such a map on the park website.

Cherokee National Forest is a bit too far away for this trip. Thanks for the info, though.

 

Might also ask for info over at the Official Tennessee Thead. Quite a few members there from all over the state.

 

Probably a good idea.
