Originally an old railroad roadbed in Little River Gorge, this 18-mile route runs from the Sugarlands Visitor Center to the entrance of the Cades Cove Loop Road. A relatively slow-go, the Little River Road meanders alongside (you guessed it) Little River, passing at one point the exit (at the wye) to Townsend TN, the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies". Features include views from the roadway of Meigs Falls and The Sinks.
