The park is about a 20 minute drive from Pigeon Forge. Here are just a few suggestions of things to see & do!

- Cade's Cove is a great 11-mile loop to drive and site-see.

- Clingman's Dome is the highest point in Tennessee that requires just a short 0.5 mile hike to the viewpoint.

- Laurel Falls is a 2.6 mile hike and takes about 2hrs. Definitely one of the most popular hikes in the park.

There are a ton of activities in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Shopping, go-carts, mini golf, and restaurants. I wold 100% recommend getting reservations for any meals you plan on eating out otherwise you'll be looking at an hour+ wait at most places. The SkyBridge in Gatlinburg is is the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America.

Dollywood is also nearby with shows, a waterpark, and rollercoasters.
