Stream Exhibit Details
The Great Smoky Mountains get their name from the blue mists surrounding their peaks, and for this you can thank the abundantly moist environment that creates a temperate rain forest near the Smokies' summits. This roadside exhibit details the ecological role played by the estimated 800 billion gallons of rainwater that falls here each year, feeding the local rivers and streams in the 28 watersheds of the Smokies.
