Spring and fall activities are limited. Check schedules at a visitor center or ranger station. Horse and foot trails wind along streams and through forests into the wild stillness of the Smokies. Pick up a leaflet at the start of each trail. Overnight use of some shelters and backcountry campsites is rationed.
Campgrounds have tent sites, limited trailer space, water, fireplaces, tables and restrooms.
No shelters are provided. There are no showers or hookups for trailers. Sewage disposal stations are located at Smokemont, Cades Cove, deep Creek and Cosby campground, and across the road from Sugarlands Visitor Center. They are not available for use in the winter. Many park streams provide fishing for rainbow and brown trout all year long.
