In 1940,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park preserving
½ million acres of pristine
mountain beauty and wildlife for generations to come. The
Park hosts species of majestic trees, numbering greater in
variety than is found on the entire European Continent. The
Great Smoky Mountains National Park represents the largest,
oldest, concentration of plant growth east of the
Mississippi. Gatlinburg rests in the
valley just north of the Park and serves as its northern
gateway.
The most sought after
mountain property boasts views into the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park. The prize view of the park is a
view of Mt. Leconte, which is one of the highest points in
the park at 6,593 feet. The very best views of Mt. Leconte
and the various other majestic peaks within the park,
including Greenbrier Pinnacle, Sugarland Mountain and Cold
Springs Knob can all be viewed from the northern edge of the
Park, from a beautiful place known as Cove Mountain.
