Review:

Close to downtown Gatlinburg, the Gatlinburg Trail is one of only two in Great Smoky Mountains National Park that allows bicycles and dogs. The 3.8-mile-long loop starts and ends at the Sugarlands Visitor Center, band is an easy, level trail and suitable for visitors at all fitness levels.

The trail runs along the Little Pigeon River, and pedestrian foot bridges allow trail walkers to cross back and forth from one bank to the other. Beautiful views, waterfalls, and the foundations and chimneys of old homesteads are visible from the trail, and there is an old cemetery that will please the historically-minded visitor. The trail is cool, shaded, and peaceful, and is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gatlinburg.
