Parks & Nature
It's a great for trail running or walking for delicate knees. Makes for a 3.5 mile loop if you go all the way to the sign. You're running or walking the entire time with the sound of river. Positive energy everywhere.

Riverwalk Greenway is a beautiful multiuse trail in the resort town of Pigeon Forge in east Tennessee. While the town is better known for its tourist attractions (it's home to Dollyworld, a Dolly Parton-themed amusement park!), the Riverwalk Greenway is still worth a visit, a place to take a time-out within a serene natural setting or fish for small mouth bass/trout. The paved trail begins by looping behind the Pigeon Creek Community Center, before it meets the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River. Staying close to the river, the trail stretches south to the Island entertainment complex and then continues down to Patriot Park where it closes with a 1/2-mile loop.
The trail is open for use 24 hours a day, thanks to the lighting provided. Benches are placed at intervals along the route. Pedestrians, cyclists, inline skaters, and users with leashed dogs are all welcome to enjoy.

This is a great place to visit with family. Today, the word is most often associated with a massive rock layer known as the Anakeesta Formation that encompasses many of the peaks in our part of the Smoky Mountains. You can see it high above Gatlinburg in Charlie’s Bunion, Chimney Tops, and Mount Kephart. We chose the name Anakeesta to capture the authentic Smokies heritage that our guests will experience among the treetops at the summit of Anakeesta Mountain. Anakeesta is located on 70 acres of pristine forested land nestled in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. For more info: https://www.anakeesta.com/about/

Horse back riding at its best. The hour-long, 4 mile trail winds through more than 260 acres. Come try the longest zipline in the Smokies! This is a must for all ages with awesome views of North Carolina and the Smoky Mountains! This is a thrill you'll go home talking about. The farm has been in the same family for over 200 years.

The town is literally full of activities that you wont exhaust even in a week. Plenty of dinner shows, activities and restaurants. Every now and then you might get lucky to catch a Rod Run. However, that makes traffic a little bit heavy.
