Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials are closing several facilities on Thursday due to weather.
The park closed the Sugarlands Visitor Center, Oconaluftee Visitor Center, and Elkmont Campground for the rest of the day.
Here's a list of park roads currently closed due to high water and debris:
- Little River Road from Laurel Falls Trail to the Townsend Wye
- Wear Cove Gap Road
- Greenbrier Road
- Cherokee Orchard Road
- Lakeview Drive
- Upper Tremont Road
Backcountry trails remain open throughout the park, but trailhead access is limited due to road closures. Hikers are advised to alter their routes to avoid trails with river crossings or to wait until the rivers recede.
