About Gatlinburg
Smoky Mountain Memories
Gatlinburg Tennessee takes great pride in its mountain heritage, and the arts, crafts and retail shops reflect that heritage to a large extent. Gatlinburg is a walking community, with the Downtown Parkway offering hundreds of things to see and do. If you prefer, get around town on one of the city’s trolleys, where you can ride unlimited times for free. Stroll the riverwalk along River Road as it echoes the wistful sounds of the Little Pigeon River, with gazebos and benches along the walkway.
At the corner of East Parkway and Glades Road, you’ll find the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community. Home to over 100 craftspeople and artists along the 8-mile loop, it’s the largest gathering of its kind in North America. Inevitably, you’ll find a one-of-a-kind craft or work of art being made during your visit.
