Find Your Trail
Cast Your Cares Away
Over 2,000 miles of streams and rivers flow throughout the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and act as veins of life for the forests. When staying with us in Gatlinburg you’ll find that all of our guest rooms are riverside and include a private balcony. If you think sitting by the river is relaxing and allows you to escape for a moment, then try fishing for a day. Sitting on the bank is great but if you want a true Smokies fishing experience give Smoky Mountain Angler a call and book a guided trip with our friend CJ or any of their other knowledgeable and professional guides. With your feet in the water and a wild rainbow in your hands, you’ll forget that the stress of the world even exists!

Fun in the Sun, River Style
Guests can find opportunities to enjoy the streams and rivers year-round in Gatlinburg but during the warmer months, the possibilities are endless! Visit the NOC Gatlinburg to book a rafting trip, bring your kayak and ride the river, take a tubing tour, go snorkeling, or just find a little swimming hole and waste the day away. The beauty and tranquility of the area’s waterways are truly one of the greatest gems in the Smokies so please be sure to Leave No Trace and help us to keep the pristine mountain streams clean for future generations.
