Cades Cove
Abrams Falls is know for being a small waterfall, only 20 feet in height, with a a large volume of water rushing overs the falls. The long, deep pool at its base is very picturesque and quite dangerous. The October 2008 issue of Backpacker Magazine listed Abrams Falls as their 9th most dangerous hiking trail largely due to the risk of drowning and hypothermia. The slippery rocks and strong current around the pool have caused 29 deaths since 1971.
