If I recall it was supposed to be about 2.3 miles round-trip, but they seem to neglect to mention that it is at least 95% uphill on the way there to the falls. However, even though it was a bit of a struggle for me being out of practice. I was finally able to make it and it was well worth the effort. After getting to the top I sat for a spell, and took some photos, and just enjoyed the peaceful nature. It was absolutely beautiful and the water was very full due to the recent rains. The way down was not as hard as going down was 95% downhill. One suggestion make sure you have a good set of sneakers that is fitting well.

I thought this was a fantastic trail to do with our family (4 yr old and 1 yr old). We did hold the one year old and made the 4 yr old hold hands as we approached the top because there started to be a very steep drop off but overall the trail was very doable with kids. There are signs at the top warning to watch your kids because of the drops offs. We stopped at the falls and had some snacks with the kids to take a break, it was somewhat crowded but we still got a beautiful view of the falls during our snack. The one year old slept the whole way down! We got lucky with parking as we pulled in right as somebody was leaving .. parking was tight but a little patience goes a long way, people are coming and going all day long. Overall a great experience.

Great easy hike. Easy in that it's about 2.6 miles without much elevation change. It is kind of paved, but it's really torn up in some places. I am by no means an expert, but I would not count on the pavement for a wheelchair, stroller, etc. Only reason I mention that, we saw a stroller on this trail.... Waterfalls is very nice, highly recommend. Gets very crowded. Note that there is additional parking about 0.25 miles down the street, which is where we parked.

My family and I entered the park in the late afternoon on a Sunday and had just planned to drive to some overlooks, figuring the hiking would be very crowded on a weekend, and we happened to see a few open parking spots right in the Laurel Falls parking lot, so we decided to do the hike!
The hike is paved, but definitely a workout on the uphill portion. There was a decent sized crowd at the top, but they were all very respectful of letting people take pictures of the falls, so we got great shots without stragglers in the background.
If you are up for it, I would suggest taking the (unpaved, slightly rugged) side trail to the bottom of the falls (if you are wearing hiking boots) and view the falls from there. You are able to see the tiers of the falls and it was definitely a spectacular view!

This trail is mostly paved and kind of steep at times. It's pretty much straight up on the way there, so I would definitely encourage you to bring water.
Parking was tough. Even though we were there by probably 9:30 AM, I think that we parked 3/4 of a mile away down the road. If you have kids with you, make sure that they understand that there are no walkways, so they will need to stay close to the edge of the road.
The view at the top was pretty! The water was so cool and felt like natural air conditioning after the hike up. We stayed up there for a little bit just to enjoy the view and rest.

Nice and relatively easy hike to the Falls and worth doing, particularly with kids. It may be paved but it is uneven and some areas eroded, so wear proper closed toe shoes, and I can’t imagine it would be fun using a stroller on the uneven ground so bring a carrier.

I mean it’s a nice hike with nice views but it has become too crowded. The trail does actually continue past the falls and this was the best part because no else went past the falls. It really is beautiful and a good hike it has just become way too crowded. If it’s your only option go but be warned it is crowded. There was sadly graffiti and trash. Leave no trace please.

We knew this area was popular, so we arrived early and secured a parking space! Great views. Path paved-ish during most of the hike. Trail was busy, but not overcrowded (probably due to the limited parking.) Despite the parking woes, people on the trail were friendly.

This is an easy 1.3 mile walk up to the falls, 2.6 miles round trip. The trail is broken blacktop but people did push at least one wheelchair as well as strollers up the mountain. All ages made the trip. Wanted to do another falls but weather did not permit. There are some warning signs about the bears but we didn't see any bears. Do give it a try.

No parking spots will be available for you unless you arrive at “O’Dark Thirty”. It’s very sad to see such a beautiful place that you can’t go to. National Parks Service: why can’t you add more parking to help us out so not so early early people enjoy as well. Again, this is a very sad situation.

Can you swim at Laurel Falls

The pool of water is not deep or wide enough from the falls. Midnight Hole is a popular spot but people have drowned there.

Hi! I plan to hike the falls in february. We like the colder weather! Is their a place for a picnic or not recommended due to the wildlife?

Laurel Falls takes about 1.5 hours round trip. I suggest eating at Metcalf Bottoms Picnic area further up Little River Road. You might like to hike to the old schoolhouse and the Walker Sister's cabin while there.
How long should you plan on on doing this hike ?

Yes go very early, the earlier the better. And it’s about 2hrs total. It all depends on how long you stay at the falls.
Is this trail paved? We have a 3 month old and a 3 year old and we’re wondering if this trail is stroller friendly? Or if there are any known trails that are stroller friendly? Please help!

As others say, trail is not really stroller friendly BUT people do take strollers on the trail. The area around the falls us quite small, so that is also a problem when you have a stroller. The trail also has many drop off areas and you will need to keep a close eye on your 3 year old.
The Sugarland Valley Nature Trail which is on Newfound Gap Road about .5 miles from the Sugarland Visitor Center. It is a paved trail suitable for wheel chairs so the trail is in great condition and flat. You will see views of the river.
The Gatlinburg Trail is a very nice walk. The trail is not paved but is in very good shape. It is located at the very end of River Road in Gatlinburg just before entering the park. The trail has one small incline but nothing kids/stroller could not handle.
The river views are very pretty.

The website says: From Sugarlands Visitor Center, turn toward Cades Cove on Little River Road and drive 3.5 miles to the trailhead where there are parking areas on both sides of the road.
But I've read that Cades Cove is packed with people.
What is the best way to get to Laurel Falls?

I suggest getting there very early because the parking fills up fast. I know that people often get there at sunrise to hike.

When you said it was accessible to the Welcome Center I thought you meant right at the center. But Laurel Falls is 4 miles from the Welcome Center. Cataract Falls is right behind the center and is a mile loop. Laurel Falls is about a 2 1/2 mile round trip and goes up some quite an incline for 1 1/3 miles. I believe I just misread your message.
