Sevierville Essential Info

Overview

There’s no better place to start your Smoky Mountain adventure than Sevierville, where the fun truly begins.

Famous for shopping, Sevierville literally offers up everything you’re looking for along with plenty of unique treasures you never knew existed (but now must have). Talk to visitors on the streets and you’ll get a wide array of opinions regarding what’s best about Sevierville shopping, from mega-specialty stores like Smoky Mountain Knife Works to the name brand deals at Tanger Outlets Sevierville.

But don’t just stay inside…with Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains as your backdrop, you can’t help but go outdoors. Fishing, hiking, rafting, and even golf attract everyone from adrenaline junkies to casual nature lovers. A selection of awesome water parks, lazy rivers and pools also let you soak up the sun…sometimes without ever leaving your hotel.

Maybe your way of engaging with these mountains’ beauty is a little more laid back. A casual walk from store to store. A picnic. Even a quick nap in the hammock before dinner. Or a peaceful drive through Great Smoky Mountains National Park, America’s most visited national park which is free to enter and enjoy.

Let Sevierville be your guide to all the area has to offer, from diverse recreational opportunities and entertainment activities to dining options, great places to stay and the most majestic mountain views. Make us your basecamp and the first part of your unforgettable Smoky Mountain visit.
