Outdoor Activities

The Gatlinburg Trail is a popular hiking trail connecting Great Smoky Mountains National Park with Gatlinburg, suitable for all ages and skill levels, and accommodating pets and bicycles. Read on to discover more of what makes this trail unique.

Did you know that when visiting the Smoky Mountains region, you can leave your car in a free parking lot, hop on a Gatlinburg trolley, see the town, connect with a Pigeon Forge trolley, explore the area, and, if you choose to, travel to Sevierville on yet another trolley bus?

Trolley buses connect the cities of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville, and are extremely convenient and affordable to cruise around in an air conditioned vehicle, take in the views and be served by the quaint, blast-from-the-past-yet-ultra-modern trolley service.

With Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the doorstep, it’s often overlooked that Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge both have some fine public parks to enjoy. These are great places to get out of the bustle and stroll or picnic.

Visitors who seek out our Gatlinburg cabin rentals or a Pigeon Forge cabin rental have a plethora of attractions and activities to enjoy morning, noon, and night. From hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains or ice skating at Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort to exhilarating thrill rides and exciting shows at Dollywood, there’s something to do for everyone of all ages.

Take a silent, fun coaster ride down the mountain, by day or by night!
