Amazing view of Gatlinburg. Parking is limited at this overlook, so try to get there in morning and preferably on a sunny clear day. Full review by gerri1217

The view from this overlook was totally spectacular and breathtaking! The government needs to do more to ensure they take care of it. For example one of the information signs needs to seriously be r… Full review by bigdaddy861

The view is spectacular! You certainly don't get these views living in NYS! This is a great stop off to see the mountains! Full review by Angelize1999
Google Maps says the Scenic Overlook is "permanently closed" - is this really the case? I am not sure if it's temporarily due to COVID or truly permanently closed. We are in the area and would like to visit but don't want to make a special trip there if it's closed. Thanks!

No. This Scenic overlook is very very open! Its just a pulloff from the park road heading up to Newfound Gap into NC.
Any suggestions on nearby trails in Gatlinburg on the Appalachian that are fairly easy hikes( traveling with a child who loves to walk but does have some mobility issues) we will be there in two weeks Thanks in advance

The hike from Gatlinburg to Sugarlands Visitor Center is easy and very nice in good weather. Its actually named the Gatlinburg Trail. It begins at the very edge of Gatlinburg and is about 2 miles to the visitor center/road that leads to Caves Cove.
We will be in the area mid September. Both are senior citizens. We are not very active. Casual walks are our thing. I would like to know if the walking trails are marked if they are rocky and steep. Thanks for the help.

If you go to visitor center they have listing of trails and how long and strenuous they are!
We are planning to be in Gatlinburg the middle of September. Both are senior citizens and not very active. Are the different trails easy for non athletic, but not handicapped seniors. Are they marked? Thanks for the help.

I like the Little River trail which starts at Elkmont campground. This an old road which leads through the abandoned cabins of a former summer encampment and then follows a rushing creek. You can walk as far as you wish, up to several miles, or as little as a few hundred yards and have something interesting to see. The nature trail at sugarlands is a good choice as is the Mingus Mill walk. The walk around the Oconoluftee pioneer farm at the Oconoluftee Visitors Center is a good choice.
