When to go

Seasons paint the Smokies — find your favourite canvas: snow-covered in winter, aflame with burnished canopies in fall, fresh-leaved in spring, or sun-bright in summer. July and August can be sultry, but altitude keeps Maggie Valley a little cooler.

Getting there

  • Planes

    To reach Maggie Valley, you’ll need to touch down at Asheville Regional Airport (around 45 to 50 minutes by car) or McGhee Tyson Airport (just under two hours’ drive away).

  • Automobiles

    You'll require a set of wheels in this rural patch of North Carolina to access the trailheads, navigate from town to town and cruise your way around the National Park.
