This is a tour of the Cades Cove community in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, located in Townsend, Tennessee - just miles from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Knoxville. Like many in the National Parks, the residents of the cove were forced to abandon their homes when the Park was created.
The Cades Cove community is hundreds of years old and is maintained today by the Parks Commission. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park remains one of Americas last free/no admission parks, as millions of tourist now visit Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Townsend and the surrounding area every year. Cades Cove is a tourist favorite and many vacationers make seeing the community a top priority on their list.
On a visit to Cades Cove you will almost certainly see black bears, deer - including massive bucks, elk, wild horses, turkey, and other assorted wildlife.
If you're headed to the Smokies, be sure add the 11-mile Cades Cove loop to the must-see sights on your list.

In the video you will see the John Oliver cabin, located up a 1/4 mile trail. You'll also see black bears, turkey, primitive Baptist & Methodist churches, an awesome mill, wild horses, cantilever barns, beautiful scenery and many other homesteads where the original settlers to Cades Cove lived and raised families that often included more than 10 children.

There are no wild horses. I've heard those rumors for decades but talked to a man who grew up in the cove by the name of Shields who said he'd never heard of wild horses there.

Cades cove was not abandoned by choice but by force. The Federal Government seized the land in the creation of the National Park. The people of Cades Cove were originally told that the their lands would not be included in the plans for the National Park but the government changed their minds in late 1920's. John W. Oliver descendant of John Oliver the first settler there, fought the government's acquisition of the land in courts for many years and he ultimately was forced to sell all his families land. John left his home in 1937. The same happened to all the inhabitants of Cades Cove. The Primitive Baptist Church continued to meet in defiance until the 1960's.

First of all, great video. The cabins were not abandoned, these people were forced out because of the park. But the sad part is when you go into the cabins or any of the buildings people have written on the wall's. The worst is when when they carved their name and year in the wood. No respect! I see plastic bottles in the creeks and rivers. Trash thrown out. Ya'll say what a beautiful state we live in and you trash it.

I've been going to the Smoky Mountains for 44 years, the title is misleading. These cabins are not abandoned, they are preserved by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It's the 11 mile loop that allows you to see beautiful nature and the way life was with all of these historical cabin homes, Churches, cemeteries and wild life.

Hi Mister Enigmatic. The homes in Cades Cove are most definitely vacant as a result of forced abandonment. The people of this community were forced out by the National Parks committee, the same as the small abandoned town of Elkmont. It's interesting that the people of Elkmont used the NPC to force the residents of Cades Cove to abandon their homes, while being forced out of Elkmont by the same NPC a few years later. They were forced out for the creation and expansion of the GSMNP and the parks commission does maintain the site.

When i was a kid in 1962 I read an article in National Geographic about Cades Cove. People still lived there then. I think it was five families. It wasn't a national park. I'm glad it's been preserved.

I am proud to state that some of my ancestors were original owners/founders of Cades Cove. I seem to recognize one of the houses having been that of an ancestor, from pictures in the Tipton FaceBook page. While my most recent ancestors settled in south-western Pennsylvania, and have a long history there, Cades Cove is on my "bucket list" of places to see. My favorite family "memory" is of Fightin' Billy Tipton, veteran of the Revolutionary War, other battles and the Battle of New Orleans. He was an associate and good friend of Andrew Jackson. Billy challenged Jackson to a horse race and won. (Easily found if "Fightin' Billy Tipton" is Googled and his family history is read.) There are Tiptons that have played important roles during the founding, governing and law enforcement of our nation from the Baltimore area through all states down through Tennessee and west. Those that study the Tipton genealogy have proudly stated that all Tipton's in the US are related. Having descended from a single immigrant.

Awe, a church and meeting place. Nice cabins.. I wonder if they had a grocery store. Didnt a group of people get together and build a new town? And then the government came in and shut them down? That's all I remember....I could be wrong. I know this is an old video but thank you for showing it to us again...There is a bit of explorer in all of us.

You're welcome Blondie, thanks for watching. It is sad how these things happen. I do think a lot of them would have eventually left that way of life, because the city and surrounding area has been growing a lot. Or maybe, if they were able to stay, a lot of those places would be torn down and re-built with modern homes and subdivisions, etc.

What a beautiful area, sad (biting my tongue on this) typical of a government to take it (over) I get preserving nature , historical sites, but when people founded, settled here I bet they had more to say and I hope they were compensated for their stress, pain, and the gross intimidation I bet they endured. (Especially the native Indians/ indigenous peoples) I bet the government didn’t give them squat (money). And all these beautiful cabins, Barns homes are now part of memories lost in time. Glad it’s well kept up, if those walls could talk, amazing footage. Thank you!

Thanks for the tour, IR. I love the place all over again when I visit. This RU-vid tour, I even found folks from my family tree, the Caughrons. I watched Lois tell about her time there, as she is reportedly the last person to live in Cades Cove. Moving story. I would love to meet her and her daughter. Best, Betty

Thanks! Wishing you safe travels. I told another fellow moments ago that I had stopped along Roaring Fork some years back to sing songs with Tolbert Reagan and his friend who were repairing a cabin at the time. What a thrill that was! The old Bluegrass Shack (Lucy, TN) in the photo is gone now--careless kids with fireworks burned it to the ground. So much good bluegrass music came out of that old place. Sweet memories!

Hey IR, Dump this one where I doubled on myself. Sorry about that. I need to look up Tolbert Reagan's friend's name to complete the story of my singing with them along Roaring Fork where they were working on an old cabin. Will send the gentleman's name if I can find it. Love the RU-vid videos! Best, Betty

I just googled Tolbert "Buzz" Reagan (8/30/1937 - 4/2/2017). We just lost this fine fellow a few months ago. What a glorious day that was as I sang with him and his friend when they were doing finishing work on an old wooden cabin. The obituary said that he enjoyed woodworking. "Lord build [him] a cabin in the corner of Glory Land / In the shade of that tree of life / That it may ever stand...."

There's a lot of things to do in that area of the Great Smoky Mountains. I enjoy renting a cabin that's away from everything and a bit secluded. You have this here the Cades Cove 11 mile loop then there's Pigeon Forge and Gatlingburg. To all that's never been there I recommend it. Great for kids w/ go karts, horse back riding, rafting etc. Especially the views you can get for your money's worth going on a helicopter ride!

It's a great place. I like Townsend a bit more, because it's less crowded, but Gatlinburg is great. I live in the middle of both of them, in Wears Valley.

Forced abandonment. They could've stayed, as 1 lady did for quite some time, but the park service made it very hard on the residents and most abandoned the are because of that.

Why do you call it abandoned? From the SMNP website; "Cades Cove, and area filled with overlooks, wayside exhibits and historic buildings, gets 2 million visitors a year." Doesn't sound very abandoned to me.

Doug Harker it was an April fools prank however, there is alot of lost history that I have been working to uncover. Cades cove was actually a prehistoric ocean bed, and full of karsts and unexplored caves. Looking at old scienctific papers, you can see that the network of rivers, aquifers etc find there way to these common sinks. Science lends itself to some truth. One cave I have explored with respect to nature, was actually used during the prohibition to throw parties of over 2,000, and has an ash stained roof from the fire torches. There has been much lost in translation about this ancient cherokee hunting ground, and land of the otters. If your interested in lost and wrongly reported history, you should follow my growing RU-vid channel and blog! I live here, and spend my time shedding light on forggoten history. Even through geocaching! Www.mikethehikingguide.fun
