West Prong Falls - Great Smoky Mountains National Park


After our late October 2019 scenic drive around Cades Cove, we stopped at West Prong Falls near the Townsend entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In my opinion, this is one of the most picturesque roadside scenes in the park.

To reach the 10-foot high cascade from the only traffic light in Townsend follow the signs for Tennessee Highway 73 east also known as E Lamar Alexander Parkway. Drive. Drive 2.2 miles, entering the park along the way, to the Townsend Wye. Turn right onto Laurel Creek Road and drive 0.4 miles to a parking area on the right. Pull-in parking is available for eight vehicles. The parking area is adjacent to the waterfall.






There is no entrance fee at Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
