Nestled in the valley of the Little Pigeon River’s West Fork and surrounded on three sides by the majestic Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, population 4,400, has evolved from a rural hamlet to a thriving gateway community.  Settled in the early 1800s, it was first named White Oak Flats for the abundant native white oak trees covering the landscape. 

Gatlinburg is a walking community, especially along the Downtown Parkway , which runs from one end of town to the other with hundreds of things to see and do in between. Within the walking community are family Attractions in Gatlinburg TN at nearly every turn. Enjoy downhill snow skiing, rafting Class IV whitewater, golf, hiking options from 600 miles of trails, and fishing in hundreds of miles of streams: the entertainment of the Great Smoky Mountains is both exhilarating and close by.
