A new video podcast emphasizing water safety for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is now available for viewing.
The podcast, “Water Safety and Day Hiking,” is a four-minute video that showcases creeks, waterfalls and rivers in the park and provides tips on safety around water while hiking — particularly the hazards of waterfalls.

Check it out at thegreatsmokymountains.org/hike_smokies_challenge.
