Abrams Falls Details
Only 20 feet high, these voluminous falls are some of the most popular and awesome of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park waterfalls. Thought to have been after the Cherokee Chief Oskuah who later adopted the name Abram, flows from the longest stream within the park boundaries over a drop into a long, pretty plunge pool lined with lush hemlocks, pines, and oaks. The pool, while inviting, is not safe for swimming because of its fast-moving undercurrent and many submerged hazards. Trailhead: The turnoff for the trailhead is located past stop #10 on the Cades Cove Loop Road. The turnoff is signed. It is a moderate, 2.5-mile hike to the plunge pool.
