CLIMB Works Canopy

We highly recommend this zip line experience.  We’ve tried a couple in Gatlinburg, and this one was definitely worth the extra few dollars.

2.

Smoky Mountain Outdoors

White Water Rafting down the Pigeon River.  Class 3 to 4 rapids. Tubing in Townsend! (about 30 minutes away) – This is one of our favorite activities!  For around $9, you can tube down a river for hours of fun!  Great for all ages.  Our favorite vendor is Smoky Mountain River Rat.

Laid back horseback riding through trails in the mountain.

Bent Creek Golf Village 

One of the few golf courses actually in Gatlinburg.  It’s challenging and scenic, but not the highest rated in terms of quality.

One of the world’s best theme parks!  Roller Coasters, attractions, music and more!

The longest downhill alpine coaster ride in the country.
