Smokies Reopens Ramsey Cascades Trail after Foot Log Repair

Ramsey Cascades Trail reopened on Thursday following the installation of a new foot log. The trail has been closed since August 2016 when the foot log was damaged by a fallen tree. The foot log spans a section of Ramsey Prong that is too swift and deep to allow hikers to safely rock-hop across river. The popular, four-mile trail is located in the Greenbrier section of the park and leads to the park’s tallest waterfall, Ramsey Cascades.

A tree fell and damaged the Ramsey Cascades Trail footbridge in August 2016.

The Ramsey Cascades Trail footbridge repaired and reopened April, 27, 2017.
