We adore the Cades Cove Scenic loop and highly recommend it! It is the best UNPLUGGED (absolutely no cell service) adventure to really enjoy the nature around you. Picture above is one I took on our 2023 Townsend trip. The scenery is just breathtaking.
If you are a coffee or hallmark lover (or both!) we definitely recommend the Towns-End coffee shop. The coffee is wonderful and the people are great! Hallmark movie made in the coffee shop! Not sure which one but there is one!
Absolutely love this river tubing experience. It was relaxing and fun. If you want to skip the lines you can rent your own tube in town as well and free float, just don't get lost we do want to see you at the wedding.
This trail is located in the Cades Cove loop! The falls are absolutely stunning! It isn't a walk in the park but it is relatively easy besides a few steep hills.
There are tons of wonderful trails to hike and parks to visit and if you get bored there are plenty of go-carts, mountain coasters, aquariums, etc a short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!!
