Traveled through the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in a UTV and it was one of the best days! This nature trail is absolutely gorgeous and you feel like you are in another place when you're riding through here. So many great spots to stop and take photos. Waterfalls, old homesteads/cabins, just everything around you is something to look at on this trail. Can't wait to visit again!

Have completed this motor trail many times and have never been disappointed. It’s a 5.5 mile long one-way journey. The road is narrow as it winds through old growth forest. Along the way you will have the opportunity to explore well preserved log cabins, historical buildings, & a gristmill. You will cross rushing streams and you might even encounter wild turkeys, bears or other wildlife. During peak season cars are bumper to bumper & move VERY slowly making this trip an hour plus (even if you don’t stop which you probably will). Make sure you have plenty of gas before you go. It had snowed the night before our visit making the scenery even more spectacular. Picture taking opportunities abound. Closed during Winter months. Peaceful Relaxing Get Away & Only A Short Distance From Downtown Gatlinburg. Highly recommend.

The roaring fork motor trails is like an umbrella of more trails. We hiked to Grotto Falls and a historic cemetery. There were also more trails within roaring fork motor trails and scenic overlooks. I will never forget how beautiful Grotto Falls was! Sharing pictures below of both Grotto Falls and the historic cemetery.

I only drove probably about 1/2 the entire Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, but DEFINITELY pull over at get out at Ogle Place...it's GORGEOUS and there are 2 cabins (the sign tells you the history) to see and a 3/4 mile trail to walk if you want. It is so peaceful and if you are an inspiring photographer, definitely you get some great photos here.
This entire motor trail is just beyond words...worth the time...and you may even see some bears!

We found this tour around just as interesting and lovely as Cades Cove, but far far less crowded. There aren't as many opportunities to pull over, but everyone seemed to be pretty mellow and not in a big rush, so with a little patience we managed to stop and see pretty much all there was to see. Lots of history and lots of wonderful views.

Beautiful drive! Very little parking for the falls trail. You will need to get there early. There are a couple of pull off points for some great pictures. Many cars move slow to try to spot wild life but there are spots for them to pull over to let speedier cars by. We went in fall and the colors were so amazing.

This was a perfect way to see some incredible views of the Smokies without having to hike. I really appreciated this option.

Don't waste your time unless you have a day to kill and like driving behind a line of cars going 10 mph. The ride to Cherokee on 441 is so much nicer and has better hikes.

This Motor Trail is a very pretty drive and we enjoyed the scenery but..... We wanted to hike Grotto Falls and had to park down the hill, off the road as others had done. Not a problem, we got a little more exercise walking up the hill. I do think many of the big boulders along the road could be moved back to provide more safe parking. We enjoyed our lovely hike and the gorgeous falls but when we got back to our car, we were furious - some thoughtless nut parked so close to us that it took over 1/2 an hour to maneuver our car out between the boulders, trees and a Prius inches away from our bumper. Needless to say that put a damper on our adventure. I can't imagine the traffic and parking situation in the summer. Please consider additional parking spaces!!!!

On a Friday afternoon we wanted to hike Grotto Falls and the only way there is this "nature trail" which is a narrow, one way road that winds thru the mountains. It was bumper to bumper cars, all the pull outs and parking lots were full with folks having to resort to parking along the road; not safe at all! So needless to say we did not get to hike Grotto Falls. Maybe it's not so crowded earlier in the day or a different day of the week. But because of all of the traffic, we really did not get to enjoy it.

Yes, I think you could but probably not a good idea in the busy summer. It’s a narrow road and there isn’t much of a shoulder. You need to keep up with traffic but it won’t be hard with an e-bike to give you a boost up the hills. It’s curvy and cars can’t go much above 15 mph. It will be a beautiful ride; have fun!

The narrow roadway can and does get backed up. Would probably advise against it and it probably wouldn’t be as enjoyable.
Will a ford expedition be too large for the trail?

Is it worth it even if you don't do any trails? My father-in-law is going with us and he tires very easily.

Yes...the one way drive takes you past beautiful scenery. There are many short bridges that you cross that give you amazing views of the stream. I often stop on the bridge, if no one is driving behind me, and snap a few pictures. There is a booklet that cost around $1.00 that describes the different markers along the route. I would get it at Sugarland Visitor Center but they sometimes have the booklet at the very start of the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. It would be in the self serve box. At the end of the one way drive, is Ely's Mill. It is a nice spot to stop. I believe they have restrooms too. Then you follow the 2 way traffic road to hwy 321. A left turn heads you back toward downtown Gatlinburg.
I do not know if the booklet is online but you could always check and see if you can download one.
Have a nice trip

Is this place closed for the winter? My husband and I are going end of Feb and was wondering if it would be open or not.

Hi, unfortunately the trail is closed during the winter months because it would be too dangerous. They also close for the animals and to do maintenance as needed. I believe it re-opens in April give or take pending on weather. Try looking up Seasonal Road schedules for GSM.
Have a great time on your trip, there are plenty of other great places to explore and see the wildlife.

We have a dually truck. Will it be ok ? Or is it too tight a drive?

It is a very narrow road with trees and large rocks on the roadside but the real problem...the trailhead for Grotto Falls. When the trailhead parking gets full, people park along the narrow road leaving very little space to get by. I have a Camry and find it to be a tight squeeze to get through this section of the one way road.
Can 15 seat van go easily through the trail?
Janet W
Sugar Land, تكساس7,018 مساهمة
I would not recommend it. Some areas are quite narrow and the road is lined with cars at the trail for Grotto Falls when the parking lot is full which makes the narrow road even more narrow. The parking lot is full/overflowing on most days.

There were public bathrooms at the beginning of the trail. May want to check with the park rangers to make sure they are not closed due to construction.
