Located near the top of the 6593 foot Mt. LeConte, in the middle of the half-million acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Leconte Lodge is the only place where a visitor can sleep overnight in the Smokies in a snug permanent structure.

LeConte Lodge actually predates the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which was established in 1934. Jack Huff, a Gatlinburg pioneer and founder of LeConte Lodge, started building the Lodge in 1926. Eight years later Jack and Pauline Huff were married at a sunrise service at LeConte’s Myrtle Point. Jack, Pauline and family continued to operate the Lodge until 1960. It is presently operated under the auspices of Stokely Hospitality Enterprises, supervised by General Manager Tim Line.

Hiking Trails:The only way to access LeConte Lodge is by hiking one of fivemoderatelystrenuoustrails.Noneof thesetrailscanbeconsidered a stroll, and you can occasionally encounter ice and snow as late as May or early as October. Parking is available at the beginning of each trail. Regardless which trail you hike, you willenjoyasimilarlywidespectrumof floraandfaunathatyouwould see hiking the entire Appalachian Trail, as if the height and climate of the mountain had compressed thousands of miles of geography into one day’s hike. Remember the park’s Leave No Trace Policy. Dispose of waste properly, respect wildlifeandleavewhatyoufind.

Alum Cave Trail The most popular and is the shortest and steepest at 5.5 miles, which a hiker in good condition can do in approximately four hours. Begin at the Alum Cave parking area on Newfound Gap Road located 8.5 miles south of Park Headquarters and Sugarland’s Visitor’s Center on U.S. 441.
