The staff is wonderful here and the place is beautiful. They had a great program for earning park ranger badges for the young and old and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our official "you have arrived" gateway into the Smokies. Stop here every time we come in. If you get here at sunrise, the sun comes up over the top of the mountain and it looks like a scene out of Lord of the Rings. There's always wildlife nearby. Usually elk or turkeys. They like the fields on both sides of the center.

The site itself is very clean, and we like the variety of items for sale in the shop.

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Excellent rest stop before going over the mountain. Walk along the large creek and let kids play, explore the trails deeper along the water for a quick escape into the Smokies beautiful nature. Walk through the "Old Farm" as my family has always called it to see what life was once like - cabin, corn crib, barn. Come here at the right season and you'll see pigs in a pen in the mud, a nice vegetable garden. When we recently stopped there was a fly fishing class taking place in the field. In the evenings and mornings you can see many Elk out roaming the fields and take pictures.

Several years ago they held a old timey festival maybe during the fall with many booths with people recreating old activities like old toy making for kids, blacksmith, sorghum syrup making with a horse walking around machine that squeezes juice from cane. Not sure if they still have this event but it was great.

Restrooms could be kept cleaner. Plenty of parking. Vending machines at restrooms with plenty of options.

Beautiful place to stop and learn about the history of the area. Nice and helpful staff. Absolutely loved the walk around the farm. Even got to watch the elk come out to graze in the feild.
