Description
At 5,048 feet, Newfound Gap is located near the geographic center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. State highway 441 passes through the gap. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the park at this site in 1940. The site was selected for its political neutrality as it lies along the state lines of both North Carolina and Tennessee.
