The feeding, touching, teasing, or molesting of bears is prohibited. This regulation is enforced strictly for the protection of the public. Persons using park trails have nothing to fear from unmolested bears. If temped by food, however, some bears, which frequent sections of the motor road, become dangerous. They should not be fed or approached. There are 600 miles of ideal trout streams in the park, restocked annually. Rainbow and brook trout and small- mouth bass lure the devotees of Izaak Walton. Persons desiring to fish must obtain licenses from Tennessee or North Carolina, or both. Catches are regulated, and headwater streams may be found closed for restocking. The fishing season is from May 16 to August 31. Current regulations may be obtained from the office of the superintendent or from rangers or wardens. Horses and pack animals can be rented by the hour, day, or for longer periods in the towns bordering the park. Guide service is also available in these towns. Rates are reasonable. Beginning in June, and continuing for a period of 5 months, a program of naturalist-guided field trips and lectures is available. This service is maintained by the Government and is free to the public. Naturalists meet hikers at designated points in the park and conduct visits to outstanding objectives over good trails. Plant and animal life is discussed informally along the way. There are several types of walks ranging from 2 hours to all day, and once a week an overnight trip is made to Mount Le Conte. Illustrated lectures are given in
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 32-page booklet, simply titled, “Great Smoky National Park” was produced between 1935 and 1945. The booklet begins with a description of how the park was created, beginning with the 1899 effort by the Appalachian National Park Association to Congressional approval in 1926 and the significant financial donation made by the Rockefeller family. The booklet includes mention of mountain people and the Cherokee people living on the adjacent Qualla Boundary. Other topics include plant and animal life, weather, elevations, camping, trails, and trail rules. A “Travel Index” lists distances to various peaks from two park entrances and a schematic map shows relative elevations. Fifteen full-page, hand-colored photographs depict scenes in the park, including two of the “loop-over” road.
