Grotto Falls is accessible via a 2.6 mile round trip hike from the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. It is the only water fall in the park that you can walk behind.

Trillium Gap Trail leads to Grotto Falls and meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate in difficulty.

The Grotto Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a unique 25-foot waterfall that you can actually walk behind. This waterfall is accessed by the Trillium Gap Trail to Grotto Falls which is a moderate 2.6 mile hike round-trip and mostly shaded with tree cover the entire way making it perfect for a warm sunny day. The National Park Service has noted that black bears are active in this area, so it is important to know what you would do if you encountered a black bear.

Easy hike to a waterfall! Directions to Trailhead: The hike to Grotto Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains begins from the Trillium Gap Trailhead, located just outside of Gatlinburg. Starting from Light 8 in Gatlinburg, turn onto Historic Nature Trail / Airport Road. After driving 0.7 miles veer right onto Cherokee Orchard Road, upon which you'll enter into Great Smoky Mountain National Park. After driving another 2.2 miles you'll enter the one-way Cherokee Orchard Loop Road. Drive another 0.9 miles on the loop before turning right onto the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. The parking area for Grotto Falls will be on the left side of the road after driving roughly 1.6 miles along this one-way road. The trailhead is located just beyond the parking area on the opposite side of the road. Due to the popularity of this hiking trail, there are additional parking spaces further up the road. Your best bet is to arrive early during the peak visitor season. Trail Description: The hike to Grotto Falls begins from the Trillium Gap Trailhead. Hikers will be following the Trillium Gap Trail for most of the way as it meanders through a beautiful old-growth forest, which includes many large eastern hemlocks. The first section of trail is technically an access trail. After hiking a very short distance, roughly 0.15 miles, you'll link up with the Trillium Gap Trail. Hikers should proceed straight ahead at this junction to continue towards the falls.

If you want to get the waterfall experience with less of the rough and rocky terrain, this is a great kid-friendly alternative. Only 2.6 miles, its shaded by a hemlock canopy which makes this a great choice for the leisurely hiker. Plus, its the only waterfall in the park you can walk behind!
