Padgett Mill Trail, Lunch with Llamas & Farm Visit

The Padgett Mill Trail begins at the Smoky Mountain Llama Treks farm in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.

Because of this, both the Padgett Mill and Lunch with llamas treks include a shortened farm visit where you can meet, feed, and interact with the llama herd including our newer llamas.

Following the farm visit, we hike up Padgett Mill with the llamas. Please note: this is a mountain trail through the forest. There are tree roots, the terrain is uneven, and there is an uphill climb at the beginning of the trail. (The elevation increases approximately 300 feet in about a quarter of a mile.) However, we’ll take as many breaks as hikers need to complete the trek.

The woods are quite dense in the summer, but there is still one spot where you can see the picturesque Smoky Mountain National Park. The scenic Smoky Mountain long-range vistas are much more visible in the winter and early spring.
