Cosby is one of the most attractive areas of the Great Smoky Mountains, complete with hiking trails, picnic and grill facilities, horse trails, and camping areas. Origionally called Mountain Rest, it was later renamed in honor of Dr. James Cozby, one of the first doctors in this part of the country. Today Cosby is growing due to the expantion of Gatlinburg, only a short drive away. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park borders Cosby's Southern boundrys, and the Cherokee National Forest borders the East. Cosby is known as "The Quiet Side Of The Smokies", with it's own park entrance and trailheads. Some of the most popular hiking trails, and waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountans National Park start in Cosby. If you still wanted to visit Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, they are only a short drive down the road (approx. 17-20 miles).
