Recreation
Where to Begin? Staying in Gatlinburg means that you are near the famous Dollywood theme park. This is fun for the whole family, and you can spend a day or more just riding on the rides and enjoying the many shows that are put on at the theme park. Dolly Parton really did put a great deal of work into making this one of the best theme parks in the country, and you will be able to see this once you visit Dollywood for yourself.
Keep in mind that when you stay in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge that you are in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Are you interested in taking in some hiking? If so you have come to the right place. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the Southern Appalachian Mountains offers a wide variety of hiking trails for everyone from the beginner to the experienced hiker. When you are out hiking, you can see the great views the area has to offer on an up close and personal basis.

Beyond the exceptional views, there is a great diversity of nature here as well. The Great Smoky Mountains has documented more than 10,000 species of plants, animals and invertebrates, and experts suggest that there may be another 90,000 undocumented species living in this area. In recognition of its unique natural resources, the United Nations has designated Great Smoky Mountains National Park as an International Biosphere Reserve.
Other activities for those of you wanting to get back to nature include fishing, white water rafting, and kayaking. You will find some great fishing spots, or you could book your own white water rafting trip during your time in Gatlinburg. As if all of this were not enough, you may also fill your appetite for being close to nature by booking a vacation to Gatlinburg in the fall months, so that you can view the wide variety of changing foliage. This is one of the best places in the United States to see the rainbow of colors that the foliage produces in the fall months.
