Facts about Creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Streams in Great Smoky Mountains National Park are more than just scenic features. The creeks, and rivers are ancient, living, works of beauty, history, and adventure. Fed by over 80 inches of annual rainfall in some areas, these cool, clear waterways wind through deep hollows and down ancient ridgelines, providing the perfect soundtrack for a hike and the ideal home for native brook trout. Anglers travel from all over to fish these protected waters, while hikers follow streamside for both serenity and scenery. Whether you’re photographing waterfalls, cooling your feet in a mossy pool, or just soaking in the peace of a shaded cove, the streams of the Smokies offer recreation, refreshment, and a chance to experience the wild heart of the park, one ripple at a time.
