GSMNP Fees and Permits
Parking Pass
While there is no entry fee to get into the park, there is a requirement to display a parking pass. The parking pass is sold by the park and can be purchased at park visitor centers, from automated machines located throughout the park, or online. The park’s website explains the rules, exceptions, costs, and ways to purchase the parking pass. If you purchase your parking pass online, you will need to display it on your vehicle dash.
Fishing License
Great Smoky Mountains National Park requires an active fishing license issued by Tennessee or North Carolina. In Tennessee, fishing licenses are issued by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and can be purchased here. It is possible to simply display your TN fishing license on your phone without printing it.
