Thank you for your interest in Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Friends of the Smokies is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and is the primary fundraising partner for Great Smoky Mountains National Park. More people visit the Smokies each year than any other national park in the United States, but there is no entrance fee. For this reason, our Park needs Friends of the Smokies to help preserve and protect it for the next 75 years- and beyond!

You can be a Friend of the Smokies through your financial support or your volunteer time! The Park’s 75th Anniversary is a wonderful time to show your love for one of America’s greatest natural treasures- Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To become a Friend of the Smokies today, visit our homepage .

One of the signature projects of the Smokies’ 75th Anniversary is Trails Forever, which will be a lasting endowment to fund an additional permanent trail crew to perform major trail improvement projects in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You can be part of Trails Forever with a gift of your time, or by making a contribution to help build the endowment fund. Visit Friends of the Smokies’ Trails Forever website for a glimpse at the work of Trails Forever and to learn how you can make a difference! You can help improve ALL THE TRAILS IN THE SMOKIES FOR ALL TIME…
Again, we encourage you to show your love for the Smokies by becoming a Friend of the Smokies today, or by becoming a part of our Trails Forever program. We would be happy to contact you directly to answer any questions that you might have.
