Hayrides in Cades Cove
Cades Cove Riding Stables offers a 1.5 – 2 hour hayride around the Cades Cove Loop Road. Passengers sit on a bed of hay in a trailer pulled by a truck and enjoy an open air view of the scenery of Cades Cove. Space on the wagons is limited. Advance reservations are required and can be made by telephoning the Cades Cove Riding Stables at 865-448-9009.

Cost for 1.5 hour guided: $12 per person 2 years old and up. Ranger-led 2 Hours: $14.00 Per Person. Join a Park Ranger for an evening haywagon ride through Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park or just a regular hayride without narration.

Guided hayrides leave from the Cades Cove Riding Stables nightly. Hayrides are conducted regardless of weather conditions unless deemed unsafe.

Bring the family, comfortable clothing for the weather, and a flashlight for the parking and restroom area. During cooler months, it is recommended that you bring warm quilts or blankets (bring an extra one to cover your back because the wind can cause a strong chill).

Note: The ranger-led Fall Harvest Hayride with people dressed in period costumes is no longer offered.
