What to Do
While it feels like it's the middle of nowhere, you'll stay in the heart of Appalachian action. Less than 13 miles away is the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and along the way, you'll pass the mountain towns of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Just about anything imaginable awaits visitors in this national park! Biking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and water sports programs are only the basic categories of interest. If you love exploring the great outdoors, you'll find days full of fun waiting for you in the Smoky Mountains.
Gatlinburg
September arrives, bringing the beginning of fall, which means football, cooler weather, comfort foods, and autumnal decorations. The season is filled with family-friendly activities, and the air is filled with the season's smells. The weather is mild, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
The gateway to the Smokies is filled with adventures around every corner, offering something for everyone. A stroll along the famous Parkway provides ample opportunities for fun with friends and family that can't be completed in just one day.
Pigeon Forge
As summer draws close and fall colors appear, September is a beautiful time to explore the Smokies in Pigeon Forge.
Moreover, September is typically a less crowded time to visit the Smoky Mountains. Late summer is the perfect time to call - after the summer crowds have departed and before the fall leaf watchers arrive in October. With great weather, exciting events, car shows, and fun activities like the world-famous Dollywood, it's an unforgettable experience.
What to Eat
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in Tennessee have many great dining options, including steakhouses, seafood restaurants, and other top-rated eateries. Local cuisine includes specialties such as pulled pork BBQ, southern fried chicken, and Appalachian classics like cornbread and greens. And if you have a sweet tooth, don't worry because there are many options.
