Nothing shows off the beauty of the natural worldquite like a sunset.

The sparkle and reflection of the sun gleaming off a rippling ocean makes a beach sunset especially romantic.

What Makes Max Patch Special?

In spring, this unexpected swath of meadowland is adorned with wildflowers.

Once you look out over the grasses, youll have panoramic views of mountains in every direction.

Look to your east and youll see the towering Mount Mitchell.

To the southwest are some ofGreat Smoky Mountains National Parksbiggest summits, including Mt.

Sterling, and Big Cataloochee.

At sunset though, youll want to turn your attention to the west for the best view of all.

A small price to pay for a big reward, if you ask us.

Because Max Patch offers 360-degree views, its an equally gorgeous place to see an awe-inspiring sunrise.

As of now, Max Patch will remain closed to camping until 2026.

Pack a picnic, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunning show.
