The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has closed the Goshin Prong Hiking Trail in Elkmont Tennessee from the trailhead at the Little River junction and at the junction at the Appalachian Trail near Clingmans Dome.
The trail was closed to numerous blowdowns and is expected to take quite a while to reopen due to the extensive amount of work required to make the trail safe again for hikers.
Goshin Prong is one of my favorite trails to hike in the area with wonderful river and waterfall views and is normally not crowded.
The backcountry campsite #23 along the trail is also closed and will remain closed as long as the trail is closed.
