Here a remarkable view of the cove awaits from the top of the path. 6 Cooper Road Trail sits just ahead. This trail once served as a path for wagons but today it is a 10-mile hiking trail that ends near the Foothills Parkway. At the end of a half-mile hiking trail you will find 7 Elijah Oliver Place. Surrounded by a smoke- house barn and springhouse this home takes visi- tors back to a different time. The springhouse looks down on the rest of the home offering a clean water supply and insuring what modest sanitation was available. At the next stop you will find the 8 Cable Mill Area. This area features the Cades Cove Visitors Center the blacksmith shop cantilever barn smokehouse Gregg-Cable house the corn crib and the John Cable Mill. The mill is still working and visitors can stop in and sam- ple or purchase corn mill and flour as our ancestors once did. This is a must stop for visitors to the Cove. On up the trail you will find 9 Henry Whitehead Place. Built in 1898 this log house and surrounding dwellings are an example of the roughest and finest log construc- tion in the Smokies. If you feel like stretching your legs a bit try 10 Cades Cove Nature Trail. This half mile loop takes visitors into the woods to experience how a settlers family would forge for necessities. Just ahead on the right you will find 11 Dan Lawson Place. Built around 1856 some of the better blade work of the time is represented in this home. Small outbuildings served as family pantries also used as a granary and smokehouse. You can also stop at 12 Tipton Place. Hamp Tipton had this home built shortly after the Civil War. The long shed on the opposite side of the house is an apiary or bee gum stand offering honey as a common confection. As your tour of the cove comes to a close you will see 13 Carter Shields Cabin sitting nestled near the end of the loop. Another example of craftsmanship in the area this small cottage offers visitors one last opportunity to step out of their lives and into the past. Bicycle Info Bicycling is allowed in Cades Cove but there are no mountain biking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Beginning the second week in May the loop road is closed to motor vehicle traffic Wednesday and Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. to allow bicyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the cove. 125SmokyMountainNavigator.com NationalPark Mileage to Cades Cove Loop From Townsend - 9 mi From Gatlinburg - 27 mi
