Cataloochee Valley holds fond memories. It’s a backbone to tradional history as it lies among the Smoky Mountains.  A very popular place to visit, even though it’s hard to get to because of location.

As for family trips in cars, the roads are mostly gravel. They are well maintained and great for travel, you will find them winding and long as a general rule. If you have sufficient time there should be no problem.

The U.S.National Park Service,which we thank for these directions guides you by following route:

The most direct route is to take Cove Creek Road (partially graveled). From interstate I-40, exit at North Carolina exit #20 and travel 0.2 miles on route 276. Turn right onto Cove Creek Road and follow the signs 11 miles into the Cataloochee Valley.

A more scenic route  (not recommended for RVs)  is to take a long winding road,  route 32,  from Cosby TN to the Tennessee - North Carolina state border. Here the road becomes gravel. It twists and winds into Cataloochee. (This route is not recommended if your passengers are prone to car sickness.) 

Location of Cataloochee Valley is of course now part of the Smoky Mountain National Park. It’s inclosed by peaks which are 6000 feet high in the southeastern United States and very rugged mountain territory. It’s popularity came from prosperous farms-orchards plus tremendous scenic beauty.

Coming from Cherokee you travel 39 miles to reach it or coming from Gatlinburg Tennessee you’ll go 65 miles.

Cataloochee Valley exciting adventure. Go fishing. (check the rules at park visitor center)  See the wildlife like the elk deer turkey and bear. Take a tour of the old historic buildings by car and some walking. Go hiking-camping-horse back riding (800-365-2267 for reservations). Have Fun!
