Hurricane Helene causes damage, trail closures, and some road closures in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Hurricane Helene caused significant damage in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, especially in North Carolina's Cataloochee Valley, Balsam Mountain, and Big Creek areas, which are closed. While many trails in Tennessee are accessible, several in North Carolina remain shut due to damage. Most park roads are open, but Foothills Parkway East and some campgrounds in North Carolina are closed for assessments. Visitors should check the park's website for updates.
