Cades Cove Bicycle Rentals

Cades Cove Bicycle Rentals

One of the most popular ways to explore the Cades Cove loop road is on a bicycle.  There is simply no better way to get close to the natural beauty of the cove and its wildlife than on a bike.  You will have the opportunity to feel the wind in your face, enjoy the mountain breezes, and smell the lush landscape outside the confines of an automobile.  You will also have the advantage of an unencumbered view.  It is truly a different experience on a bike.

For those who are looking for this experience, there is an outside bike rental facility.  Cyclist don’t even have to bother with bringing their own bike thanks to this convenient option.  Safety gear is recommended for all riders, but is mandatory for those under 16.  Of course all of the safety equipment is available at the bike rental facility, so no worries there.

Cades Cove Bike Rentals

Don’t have a bicycle of your own? Rentals are available seasonally near the Cades Cove Campground Store. Rates, hours, bicycle sizes, and reservation policies can change, so confirm the current details with the Cades Cove Trading Company before making a special trip.

In addition to the open-air experience, riding gives you time to notice the landscape at a slower pace. During the seasonal vehicle-free program, normally from May through September, Cades Cove Loop Road is closed to motor vehicles all day each Wednesday. On other days the road is generally shared with vehicle traffic. Check the National Park Service Cades Cove page for the current schedule and temporary closures before your visit.

Make sure that you are wearing clothing that is appropriate for bike riding and the weather conditions. Closed toed shoes and high visibility clothing are recommended.  

The Bike Rental facility is located at the Cades Cove Campground Store.  Make sure to maximize your Cades Cove experience with this great option.
