Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Swimming and PicknickingTaking a cool dip is a favorite way to escape the summer heat. However, Great Smoky NP's waters are dangerous and caution is a must. Park personnel warn visitors to swim at their own risk, and to watch children carefully. The park does not recommend any specific swimming area for this reason. Since the water rarely rises above 65F degrees, hypothermia is a year-round risk.
Picnicking
The park has specific sites set aside for picnicking. Some, including
Chimneys, Deep Creek, Cades Cove, and Cosby, remain open year-round. Other sites include:
Greenbrier, Big Creek, and Collins Creek. Some park picnic areas may be closed for renovations.
