Cades Cove is a big tourist and local draw of cars driving a loop of 11 miles (plus two gravel roads that cut through the middle of the loop). Starting in May, Cades Cove is open to cyclist of all ages and abilities from early morning to 10 am on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On the loop trail (paved) are park rangers on bikes to give you information
| ThankGreat ride, especially the "full moon" ride when the park is open for bikes only during a full moon. Take your light, the main road is asphalt, but you can go off onto dirt/rock trails and roads.
11 mile one way asphalt road through a beautiful valley. Several side hiking trails to scenic and historic sites, as well as Abrams falls. Highly recommended this for road biking, this is not a single-track mountain bike trail.

Starting in May, Cades Cove is open to cyclist of all ages and abilities from early morning to 10 am on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Last time I was there we saw many deer and a couple random Black Bears w/ Cubs. On the loop trail (paved) are park rangers on bikes to give you information on whereabout of wildlife sightings.
| Thankrode it at midnight... so sweet... park in the lot and ride the loop... if your lucky you can be the only person there... enjoy the coyote howls...
| ThankLoved it, great fast descents and awesome smokey mountain views !
| ThankGreat ride, especially the "full moon" ride when the park is open for bikes only during a full moon. Take your light, a snack/fluids and enjoy! I would consider this more of a moderate ride for beginners to even those who have ridden "some". The main road is asphalt, but you can go off onto dirt/rock trails and roads. The coop is about 11 miles and open until 10am in the mornings for bikes only. After that, you share the roads with cars.
| ThankSaturday and Wednesday mornings the loop is closed to vehicles. It is a scenic loop with lots of wildlife early in the morning. Loop is paved the entire 11 miles. Great for wildlife viewing.
