Cades Cove Pictures

Cades Cove, located in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is one of the most beautiful places you can imagine. More than 2 million people visit the Cove every year to enjoy its incredibly awesome scenery. And of course people love to take pictures of Cades Cove by the thousands. If you’re visiting this page you’ve probably visited the Cove and taken some yourself. If you haven’t ever seen Cades Cove or would like to see more of it from the eye of the photographer, I’m posting the most recent photos from Flickr.com below. Keep checking back because the pics will update automatically as more are added.

If you visit Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or Townsend Tennessee on your next vacation and don’t get to Cades Cove, you’ve missed what the Smoky Mountains are all about. See what I mean below.

  • Meigs Falls -

    Meigs Falls

    Great Smoky Mountains National Park

    This waterfall can be seen from a turnout on Little River Road between Cades Cove and Sugarlands Visitor Center. The view is partially obstructed by trees in the summertime; but in winter, you do get a better view. I only wish someone from the park service would trim some of the shrubs to give you a better view of the falls. One needs to cross the river to get to the falls, but unless the river is very low, I would not recommend it especially if you're carrying camera gear.

    You also need to use a telephoto to shoot this. I used my Canon 400 5.6L to get nearly a frame filling shot. I found a .8 second exposure was best for this fall.

    Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II
    Canon 400 5.6L + Polarizer
    Exposure 0.8
    Aperture f/32.0
    Focal Length 400 mm
    ISO Speed 200
