Sparks Lane Closed, Again

From September 2 through October 25 of this year, Sparks Lane in Cades Cove was closed in order to replace two large culverts and improve drainage along the road.

Well, with all the rain the region has had over the last couple of days, Sparks Lane is closed - again - due to high water.

Additionally, Newfound Gap Road (US-441) is also closed as a result of snow and ice on the roadway.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park managers just announced on the Park's web site that Sparks Lane in Cades Cove, will be closed from September 2 through October 8 to allow for replacement of culverts and to improve fish habitat.

During the work period the road will be closed to all use including pedestrians and cyclists. Travel around the 11 mile paved Cades Cove Loop Road will not be affected.
