The Appalachian Trail is accessible within 5 minutes
from near the Big Creek entrance to the Smoky Mountains National
Park at the Tennessee/North Carolina border. Of the 2015 miles
of the AT (as it is called), a section 69 miles in length serves
as a boundary for Tennessee and North Carolina in the Great
Smoky Mountains.
The Appalachian Trail is also accessible from the Cosby
Campground (about 6 miles away) and Big Creek/Waterville (about
4 miles away). For more information on the Appalachian Trail
