Newfound Gap

Newfound Gap Road travels for 33 miles from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to Cherokee, North Carolina. The reason why visitors love this scenic drive so much is because it allows them to experience a little bit of everything the park has to offer. It typically takes about an hour to drive, depending on traffic, of course. The drive includes plenty of opportunities for you to stop and enjoy the scenery. Start your driving tour at the Sugarlands Visitor Center, where you can buy a Newfound Gap Road driving tour booklet to learn more about what to expect along your drive.

Did you know that every vehicle rental with Wranglers & Razors in Pigeon Forge comes with a free National Park “Park It Forward” pass? This pass is required for parking along hiking trails, viewing stations and many other sites in the Smoky Mountain National Park territory and we are happy to provide it to all our guests.
