5 days in Pigeon Forge Itinerary

A tiny town with big tourist appeal, Pigeon Forge bills itself as the "Center of Fun in the Smokies." Just a short drive from the national park protecting the diverse plant and animal life of the Great Smoky Mountains, the town features numerous places to visit, such as bars, restaurants, cafes, theaters, and shops.

Venture out of the city with trips to River Rafting & Tubing (in Hartford) and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Foothills Parkway Southwest Parking & Cades Cove). There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at Dollywood, whizz through the canopy at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, stroll through Roaring Fork, and brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Ole Smoky.
