Russell Field Shelter is a reservation only backcountry shelter off of the Appalachian Trail in the Smoky Mountains. The shelter has a water source a couple hundred meters downhill from the sleeping area. Like other shelters in the park, this area is heavily frequented by bears so you should be prepared to hang bags if you decide to stay the night.

Being one of the first trails you see when entering Cades Cove, you would think that this trail would be a lot more crowded than it is. Anthony Creek Trail follows Anthony Creek (hence its name) from the Cades Cove Group Campground until it ties into Bote Mountain Trail. There is the option to camp at a backcountry campsite off the side of the trail, and you have the ability to tie this trail into others to make a bunch of different loops and routes.

June Whank Falls is a fun experience because the falls flow right under the bridge, giving you the best view of the falls. The bridge is as gorgeous as the falls themselves.
