Free and paid parking available throughout the area. During peak season (June-October and holidays), arrive early for the best spots. Consider parking once and exploring on foot when possible.
Most visitors arrive via I-40 from Knoxville (about 45 minutes). GPS works well for most destinations. Traffic can be heavy on weekends and holidays, especially on the main parkway.
Weekday mornings are the least crowded times to visit popular attractions. Many restaurants do not take reservations, so plan for waits during dinner hours. Cash is still accepted everywhere, but cards are preferred.
Luxury cabin rentals minutes from the Pigeon Forge Parkway. Hot tubs, mountain views, and easy access to Dollywood and The Island.
