    Hiking

    There is an exit from Cades Cove via Rich Mountain Road across from the Missionary Baptist Church. The road is frequented by hikers, runners, and cyclists wishing to get away from the pavement and the crowds that come with the Cades Cove Loop. There is also a sizable parking area at the church.

    Rich Mountain Road is utilized by cars in the summer and fall to get back to Townsend. The route is over 10 miles total but usually takes over an hour by car.
