Happy 104th birthday, NPS!

Today marks 104 years since President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act into law, creating the National Park Service. From its inception, the National Park Service has protected America's most special places.

Today, the National Park Service has 419 units, ranging from National Parks to National Historic Sites; National Lakeshores to National Parkways; and many more designations in between (19, in fact!).

Here in the Smokies and across the country, NPS staff and volunteers proudly carry out the National Park Service mission to "preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations" each and every day. How will YOU celebrate your national parks today?

Park managers have updated the park’s current conditions page to include an interactive map reflecting road access status in response to opening the park in phases as a Covid-19 mitigation measure. Visitors are encouraged to view the maps on their computer or mobile devices before arriving to the park in order to make informed navigation decisions.

In addition, the park has made available a free mobile application in lieu of maps not being available at the closed visitor centers that allows users to interact with the parks topographic maps and does not require a cellular connection to work in the park. Visitors should allow a few minutes to download the application and maps before entering the park.
