Smoky Mountain Attractions and Activities

Gatlinburg

The Blue Mountain Mist Country Inn Bed and Breakfast is only a few minutes from the city of Gatlinburg and therefore just a few minutes from any attraction you might want to visit. The following are a few of the "must see" attractions only minutes from the Inn.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

At the Blue Mountain Mist, you are only minutes from the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and are convenient to many popular features of the Park, including the Greenbrier area. An auto tour of Greenbrier Road, which runs parallel to the Little Pigeon River, is less than twenty minutes from the Blue Mountain Mist. From the Greenbrier area, you can reach the trailhead to Ramsey Cascades, which is one of the best waterfalls in the Smokies. You can also test your angling skills for trout in the Greenbrier, Middle Prong, or Porters Creek areas.

Cades Cove is the most visited feature of the Park. Millions of visitors annually flock to Cades Cove to see the preserved pioneer homesteads, the blue-misted mountains which serve as a backdrop to the Cove, and the abundant wildlife which now populate the area. To facilitate visitors, the Park provides a self-guided tour book at the Cove's entrance. The 11-mile loop road takes approximately 45 minutes to complete casually from your vehicle. A more detailed look at the homesteads, some of which require brief hikes, can take several hours. Or you can make an entire day of Cades Cove if you stop at the Cable Mill area visitor center and include a 5-mile (round trip) hike to Abrams Falls.

Hiking - The best part of the Smoky Mountains area is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park itself, which has over 800 miles of trails, and more than 500,000 acres of land. During your visit to Blue Mountain Mist Country Inn, you should enjoy several of the hikes the Park has established.

Fishing - To fish in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you need a valid Tennessee or North Carolina fishing license. They are not available in the Park, but can be obtained from sources in the towns adjacent to the Park. Fishing is permitted year round in the Smokies from one-half hour before sunrise and one-half hour after sunset. You should know your fish before you go, because there are restrictions.

Arts & Crafts Community

The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community comprises the largest group of independent artisans in the country with more than 70 members. A visit to the 8-mile loop of shops, studios, and galleries is like a visit to an era gone by where skills developed by early settlers 200 years ago are demonstrated in these shops and studios. Travelers can choose from an array of fine, handcrafted gift items made right here in the Smokies.
