ALL VISITORS PLEASE NOTE – NEW SMOKY MOUNTAIN PARK IT FORWARD
The Park It Forward proposal was first announced in April 2022, with the public encouraged to formally submit their comments. The public’s most prevalent comment was the idea for an annual parking tag. In response to this, the national park announced it would have an annual tag, along with other parking tags to help finance the park.
Vehicles will be welcome to enter and exit the national park without paying a fee. The parking fee is strictly for vehicles that are going to be parking at the visitor centers, Cades Cove, trailheads, and other popular spots in the park.
These are available for all vehicle sizes and types. Visitors will be able to purchase the parking tags online or onsite. Also, parking tags will not be required for motorists who pass through the area or who park for less than 15 minutes.
Effective March 1, 2023 there will be three options for parking tags for visitors.
Parking Tag Fees
• Daily – $5
• Up to 7 Days – $15
• Annual – $40
Tags can be purchased at the areas visitors centers including on site at the Townsend Visitors center or on line at : www. recreation.org
