In the National Park, you will discover hundreds, if not thousands, of photographic opportunities. Rivers and streams, historic structures, hiking trails, and wildlife are just a few of things you will want to capture during your visit.

There are over 700 miles of fishable streams in the park. First time anglers to the Smokies should stop by a ranger station or visitor center to ask advice. Sporting goods stores in surrounding communities often house some of the Park's most avid fishermen. Fishing licenses must be displayed on demand by authorized personnel. State trout stamps are not required.
