Hike & Bike in The Smokies

In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, discover leisurely hiking trails, like the Gatlinburg Trail or Porters Creek Trail, perfect for little ones. Explore a winding forested trail dotted with wildflowers and keep an eye out for historic structures from an old mining community that used to live in the area.  

You can also explore on two wheels. Take the kids out for a day of biking and picnicking at Cades Cove. Bike rentals of all sizes are available at the mouth of The Loop, a scenic, one-way paved route through rolling meadows. The Loop is closed to cars on Wednesday and Saturday mornings to make way for bikers and walkers. Stop at the Cades Cove campground for a picnic lunch.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the seasonal bike rentals at Margaritaville Island Inn! Ask about how you and the whole family can hop on a pair of wheels and explore bustling Pigeon Forge for the day. Make a run to a nearby candy store or bike around The Island.
