Make this your first stop for any adventure into the Great Smoky Mountains. The Sugarlands Visitor Center is the perfect place to get your bearings, with friendly rangers ready to share tips and trail conditions. Inside, you can explore exhibits on local wildlife, watch a fantastic 20-minute film about the park, and grab maps and souvenirs. Right from the parking lot, you can step directly onto the trail for a lovely, easy walk to the beautiful Cataract Falls, making it a great way to stretch your legs after a drive.
