If you’re planning a vacation to the Smokies this summer and looking for some great ways to beat the heat, you’ll find plenty of fun options! Dollywood’s Splash Country offers a full day of water park action, or you can head into Great Smoky Mountains National Park to explore some of the majestic waterfalls! The refreshing swimming pool at our hotel also offers the perfect way to enjoy warm weather without having to drive anywhere! Here are the top 4 ways to cool off during your summer vacation in the Smoky Mountains:
1. Visit Dollywood’s Splash Country
Dollywood’s Splash Country is an exciting waterpark with towering slides, sparkling pools, and family-friendly splash zones, all tucked into the shaded beauty of the Smoky Mountains! Catch a wave in the heart of the Smokies at the Mountain Waves 25,000-square-foot wave pool, or lounge around on the Downbound Float Trip lazy river! If you have any thrillseekers in your family, don’t miss epic waterslides like the Big Bear Plunge, Fire Tower Falls, Raging River Rapids, and the Slick Rock Racer! There are even water attractions just for the little ones, including the Cascades lagoon pool with over 25 interactive elements!
2. Go White Water Rafting
Another one of the top ways to cool off during your summer vacation in the Smoky Mountains is white water rafting! You’ll find several outfitters within a short drive of Pigeon Forge that offer rafting adventures on the Pigeon River, ranging from gentle float trips to thrilling rides through class III and IV rapids! Trips include guides that lead you down the river, so no experience is necessary for these fun (and soaking wet) excursions! This is a spectacular way to beat the heat on a summer afternoon while enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors!
3. Explore the Waterfalls in the National Park
For those who want to do some hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park this summer, consider a trek to one of the park’s beautiful waterfalls! The combination of shaded forests and the cool rushing waters of a waterfall provides a delightful break from the summer heat! While Grotto Falls, Abrams Falls, and Rainbow Falls attract the most crowds, smaller cascades and falls can be found on nearly every river and stream in the park. Grotto Falls is particularly unique as it is the only waterfall in the park that you can walk behind!
4. Take a Dip in Our Refreshing Outdoor Pool
You never have to go far to stay cool this summer when staying at our Sevierville hotel! We are pleased to offer a refreshing outdoor swimming pool, complete with a slide that is a blast for the kids!
