Great Smoky Mountains National Park Roads & Bridges, Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, Between Cherokee Orchard Road & U.S. Route 321, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, TN

Significance: Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is one of the most narrow roads in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Living up to its name, the road allows park visitors to enjoy the beauty of the Smokies from their vehicles. The transportation system of Great Smoky Mountains National Park is representative of NPS park road design and landscape planning throughout the country. Much of the conservation work was undertaken by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s.
