LRTC Hiking Series Quarter 4 - Hike 3 - Reindeer Romp

Brief Description!

Enjoy a pleasant riverside stroll approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) roundtrip through a cove hardwood forest along one of the only dog- and bike-friendly trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

This trail connects the Sugarlands Visitor Center with River Road in Gatlinburg. Near the visitor center, the trail includes sections of sidewalk and roadside, but after reaching the North District Maintenance Center, it turns into a wide, well-graded dirt path through the woods with a couple notable steeper sections. Historic stone chimneys are visible along this trail.
