Service has announced a program to begin charging a parking fee for the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park. Beginning March 1, 2023, there will be a daily
fee of $5/car, a weekly fee of $15/car, or an annual fee of $40/car. This fee
will be linked to the license plate of the car, and is nontransferable. Daily
and weekly parking tags will be available at automated fee machines, payable
by credit card. These machines will operate 24/7, with locations yet to be
determined. Parking tags may be
purchased at any of the Visitor Centers, the Cades Cove Orientation Center,
and the Swain County courthouse, during regular business hours. On-line sales
will also be available. These tags may not be transferred, upgraded,
replaced, or refunded. |
