Things to Do in Sevierville

Wahoo Ziplines

Six lines strung over two miles of ridge, a top platform 250 feet up, and speeds near 40 mph — Wahoo has been running Tennessee's first zipline course since 2008. Side-by-side cables mean you race your group instead of waiting your turn. Guides take young kids and lighter guests other courses turn away, and talk nervous first-timers through every launch.

Wears Valley Zipline Adventures

The bumpy truck ride to the summit is half the adventure here, followed by a run of ziplines strung over Smoky Mountain ridges and valley floor. Guides with nicknames like Tiny, Caveman, and Cajun handle the safety briefing and the bad jokes, which is why nervous first-timers and kids as young as 5 do fine.

Harper Bros. Mountain

A sky lift carries visitors up to a quiet summit where free Moon Pies, bottled water, swings and checkers wait alongside sweeping Wears Valley views. Back at the base, a General Store sells chef-made pastries and Tennessee-roasted coffee. It suits couples, families and anyone wanting an unhurried scenic stop.

Legacy Mountain Ziplines

Visitors talk most about the half-mile signature line, which reaches up to 50 mph, and about guides who keep nervous first-timers laughing and feeling secure. With seven ziplines and wide Smoky Mountain views, it's a good fit for families with kids 7 and older, groups and anyone looking for a scenic outdoor thrill near Sevierville.

Impossibilities-Magic, Mindreading and Mayhem!

Mind-reading that leaves audiences truly stumped is the highlight here. Eric pulls guests into the act inside a two-row theater where every seat is up close. Steady humor keeps young kids and adult groups equally entertained, so it works well for families, date nights and mentalism fans.

Parrot Mountain Road Entrance Sign

In the free-flight area, colorful birds swoop around and land on visitors, which is the moment most guests rave about. Families, bird lovers and nature fans find that a one- to two-hour visit keeps kids engaged. The walkways are steep, so the golf cart tour is a smart choice for anyone with limited mobility.

Quiet Walkway

Best for Sevierville trip research. Read the full listing notes before booking or driving over if the decision depends on terrain, maintenance, packages, or special conditions.

Gatlinburg Trailhead

Dogs are allowed on this river-hugging trail, something few paths in the park can claim, so expect plenty of four-legged company. The wide, flat route suits families, casual hikers and runners, with hammock spots and fishing access along the water. Parking is tight, so arrive early or come on a weekday.

Trotter Bluff TVA Small Wild Area

A roughly 0.8-mile loop under near-constant tree cover, with peeks at Douglas Lake and Dam that open up in winter when the leaves drop. The grades are gentle, with only a few small ups and downs. It suits families with kids, dog owners, and anyone after a quiet, short walk in the woods, and eagles are sometimes seen feeding below the dam.

Little Greenbrier and Roundtop Trailhead

A 1.6-mile out-and-back with 255 feet of climbing leads to the historic Little Greenbrier Schoolhouse, while a longer 11-mile round trip offers a far less crowded backcountry approach to Laurel Falls. The short route suits families with kids or dogs, while photographers and solitude seekers favor the longer climb; watch for steep grades.

Little Valley Mountain Resort - Private Trail

About a half mile in, a small waterfall feature rewards hikers on this guest-only trail, which you can reach straight from the resort's cabin rentals. The easy first stretch suits families with young kids. The back half gains about 700 feet in under a mile for anyone who wants a workout. Some visitors found the falls nearly dry.

Hickory Flats Quiet Walkway Trailhead

A weathered hilltop cemetery, its oldest markers still legible, waits at the end of this half-mile climb outside Sevierville. The path splits into three near the start, two of them looping back, then narrows to fallen logs and natural rock steps. Best for reasonably fit nature lovers, families with older kids, and solo hikers after quiet.
