Dollywood - #1 Attraction in Pigeon Forge
The newest attraction at Dollywood, opening in 2008, is River Battle. The $5 million River Battle is a themed water raft ride equipped with powerful soaker guns. Nine rafts, each with room for eight passengers, follow a 500-foot channel. As the rafts navigate the waters, the battle begins as passengers, each armed with a soaker gun, take aim at each other and more than 100 targets along the way, including large-scale “talking animals”—beavers, skunks, otters, bears and more. Some of the targets shoot back while others display a variety of special effects, creating surprises at every turn and ensuring that no two rides are ever exactly the same. River Battle also engages park guests along the ride’s banks. While rafters are soaking each other in raft-to-raft sparring, they also can “shoot” observers along the way in “raft-to-shore” fun. In the park’s ongoing effort to provide opportunities to bring families closer, River Battle is yet another ride addition that allows parents and children to ride together.

Whitewater Rafting
A rafting trip down a cool mountain river is nothing less than exhilirating, and the scenery is just as beautiful. A scale of class ranges are available, depending on your age and experience in whitewater rafting. Your Smoky Mountain surroundings will enable you to leave your cares behind and enjoy a day of great outdoor adventure.

Theatres:
Pigeon Forge has a variety of music theatres, including Country Tonite Theatre, American Jukebox Theatre, Black Bear Jamboree, WonderWorks Hoot 'N Holler, Comedy Barn, Miracle Theater, and Smoky Mountain Jubilee.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park:
The most visited national park in America, Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers many opportunities for a fun-filled vacation, including beautiful hiking trails, whitewater rafting, fly fishing (including trout), river tubing, waterfalls, year 'round floral, and wildlife.

Fall Foliage:
Tree leaves in the Smokies change colors in Autumn and peak between mid-October and early November. One of the reasons fall colors in the Smoky Mountains is so beautiful is the park’s amazing diversity of trees. Approximately 100 species of native trees live in the Smokies, and the vast majority of these are deciduous.
