Laurel Falls Trail
Laurel Branch and the 80-foot high Laurel Falls are named for mountain laurel, an evergreen shrub which blooms along the trail and near the falls in May. The waterfall consists of an upper and a lower section, divided by a walkway which crosses the stream at the base of the upper falls. Laurel Falls is one of the most popular destinations in the park and parking at the trailhead is limited.
New Orleans Sandwich Company
This is our favorite, whole in the wall, place to eat. The restaurant contains a lot of authentic cajun food, and is well priced, you but should call ahead of time because they sometimes close early if they don't have a lot of business toward the end of the day.
Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que
While there are many options for BBQ in Gatlinburg, Bennetts is the most delicious, you can dine in or order out. There's also another location in Pigeon Forge.
Fannie Farkle's Amusement
Fannie Farkle is an arcade but we like to go their for their "farkle dogs" which is bratwurst covered in onions and bell peppers.
Gatlinburg Space Needle
Is the best arcade but also, the needle has an outdoor observation level that provides a 360 degree view of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Ober Gatlinburg
This mountainside amusement park features skiing, mini-golf, wildlife encounters, a mall, tubing & more.
Cades Cove
Is a nice drive through the mountains, where you experience all the beauty that the Smokies have to offer.
