Wondering what it looks like right now inside the most visited national park? Here are four live views from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Note: NPS webcams capture images during daylight hours. At night, you'll see the most recent daytime image. Images typically refresh every 15-30 minutes.
National Park Live Cameras
Newfound Gap
Newfound Gap's webcam is one of the best views, and one of the best ones to look for snow, as it's the highest elevation National Park Service webcam that you can drive to year-round.
Newfound Gap is along one of the best scenic drives and is also the last stop before turning onto the road to Kuwohi.
Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome)
The Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) webcam is now operational year-round, and seems to be a higher resolution than Newfound Gap, resulting in some great views!
It's also frequently in the clouds, so you may not be able to see anything. But you'll find some beautiful sunrise views from it. Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) is the highest point in the National Park and one of the best scenic hikes. The road to Clingmans Dome is closed during winter.
Look Rock
The Look Rock webcam is a lookout tower in the far western part of the national park.
It's a lesser-known location along the Foothills Parkway, and on a clear day, it allows you to easily view downtown Knoxville.
Purchase Knob
Purchase Knob's webcam is in the furthest eastern part of the National Park near Cataloochee.
About These Webcams
These webcams are maintained by the National Park Service and partner organizations. They capture images periodically during daylight hours (typically every 15-30 minutes). At night or during technical difficulties, you'll see the most recent available image.
Tip: The Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) webcam is often in the clouds, especially in the morning. Try checking at different times for the best views!
