Townsend Tennessee offers a quiet alternative to its more popular neighbors. Nestled at the base of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Townsend is the perfect place from which to base your Smoky Mountain vacation.
While Townsend is only a short drive from the heart of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, you will find quite a selection of delightful activities without ever having to leave this peaceful town. Tuckaleechee Cove gives visitors a look into the area's rich Appalachian culture, museums, historic sites and special trails, while hikes near the Townsend entrance to the national park offer beautiful vistas and cascading waterfalls.
Visit the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center, dedicated to preserving the region's unique culture, and view artifacts dating from 3000 B.C. to the 1930s. The Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum tells the story of the busy railroad operating in the Smokies in the early 1900s, while Cades Cove is an 11 mile driving loop that showcases the personal stories and unique setting that makes Cades Cove truly one of a kind.
Visit Townsend and discover why the Peaceful Side of the Smokies is worth getting to know.
