Great Smoky Mountains National Park · Native Brook Trout Restoration Stream
Abrams Creek drains Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, flowing through the most photographed valley in the Smokies before disappearing into a deep limestone gorge. Wild rainbow trout dominate the upper sections through the cove, while native Southern Appalachian brook trout hold in the highest tributaries. The creek is one of only a handful of high-pH streams in the Smokies thanks to the limestone of Cades Cove, which makes it more productive than the typical acid-leached Smokies stream.
