Wears Valley lies in the majestic hills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and just seven miles from Pigeon Forge. Wears Valley is known as one of the most beautiful and picturesque valleys you will find anywhere in the United States. Wears Valley offers the serenity and seclusion of the mountains but the convenience of being close to all the action of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
Close by are hiking trails, mountain streams and waterfalls, wildlife viewing, whitewater rafting, tubing, and other outdoor adventures provided by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Metcalf Bottoms, Elkmont and the Cades Cove areas of the Smokies are just minutes away from Wears Valley.
One of our nation's most visited natural areas, historic Cades Cove is considered an "open air museum" of pioneer life in the nineteenth century. Since the land was purchased for the national park Cades Cove has preserved history as one of nature's most tranquil, serene and breathtaking attractions.
Within minutes to the many attractions found in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and to the peace, tranquility, and annual festivals in Townsend, Wears Valley is waiting for you. Why stay anywhere else?
