Come explore some of our biggest natural attractions, from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Ridge Parkway to the lesser known areas like Panthertown Valley.

Places of Interest has something for everyone. If it's roadside views and convenience you desire, we have it. If it's off the beaten path you're itching for, no worries, we have you covered as well. From paved roadways and paths to some of the most challenging backcountry journeys, the possibilities are endless. We're here to lend our local knowledge and recommended locations to make it easy for you to jump-start your rejuvenating journey to the quieter side of the Smokies.

Why nearest cities?

We recommend using the 'Filter by Nearest City' option to help locate points of interest (POIs) that can normally be found 'off the beaten path' or outside of a given city's limits.

Find these POIs under our 'Play' & 'Explore' categories.

A few examples: Hiking, Waterfalls, Fishing Spots, Picnic Areas, Swimming Holes, Mtn. Biking, Museums & Historic Sites, Scenic Drives & Motorcycle Routes.
