Smoky Mountains National Park
Smoky Mountains National Park is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Knoxville. It has a variety of paths, trails and scenic overlooks for any fitness level to enjoy. This is a great part to visit in any season of the year, but when the leaves change in the Fall, it’s exceptionally beautiful.
