Our charming mountain town is the gateway to America's most popular playground, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We're a year 'round destination for families and couples who come again and again, knowing they'll find something here for everyone.

You'll find hundreds of miles of hiking trails, plus hundreds of quaint shops and galleries. You can stay in a gorgeous chalet high over town, a creekside campground or one of the many hotels, motels and B and Bs in between.

And you can enjoy hearty southern cooking in our local cafes or a delicious gourmet meal in a fine restaurant. Activities abound, from golfing, skiing and horseback riding to family fun attractions including go-karting, amusement centers and fanciful museums. Of course, you'll also have 800 square miles of gorgeous national park right at your doorstep.

So if you want to get right to the heart of a great vacation, come visit us in Gatlinburg, right in the heart of the Smokies.
