Across Sevierville, you’ll have opportunities to embrace nature while hiking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding and more. Rent a kayak for a relaxing day on Douglas Lake or enjoy boating, canoeing, jet skiing and more. Fishing is also popular, both at the lake and in Sevierville’s Little Pigeon River, which runs throughout the city and is home to a world-class smallmouth bass fishery.
Located in the foothills of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevierville is music superstar Dolly Parton’s hometown. Visitors to this beautiful and interesting part of the world enjoy natural wonders, world-class entertainment, and high-end, name-brand outlet shopping, all served up with signature Southern charm.
While Mother Nature certainly takes center stage, Sevierville’s attractions are must-sees as well and range from discovery zoos and thrilling zip line attractions to mini-golf courses, go-kart tracks and even a massive trampoline park.
Historic downtown Sevierville is well worth a visit. Pick up a free Discover Sevierville Historic Walking Tour brochure and learn about more than 40 points of interest, including the famed bronze statue of Dolly Parton.
Snap a quick photo, then buy a little something to commemorate your visit to her hometown—there are a variety of unique boutiques. Snack along the way – and sip on an old-fashioned soda or spoon in a traditional banana split at Red’s Soda Fountain. Really hungry? Stop for lunch or dinner at one of Sevierville’s new downtown eateries and check out the city center’s vibrant art displays. You can even enjoy after dinner drinks, snacks, and games at The Pines Downtown – which just so happens to be located in the former Pines Theater building, where Dolly played her first paying gig in 1956.
Enjoy a great wine, craft beer or specialty cocktail—then see how the local spirits are made. Enjoy a visit to one of Sevierville’s many distilleries, wineries and breweries—many of which also offer tours and samples to guests of age. Get the free Sevierville Sipping Pass online at VisitSevierville.com for a handy guide to these spirited mountain beverages.
