Pigeon Forge

This past Tuesday, Barbara and I left Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and headed for Lenoir, North Carolina. Pigeon Forge is an interesting place. It appears to be a combination of a tourist trap and a theme park. While there we visited the Hard Rock Cafe and a place called the Island. The Island is a combination of shops and restaurants. We enjoyed some ice cream, beef jerky and a nice fish dinner. In the center of the Island there is a fountain that moves and pulsates to the music. Surrounding the fountain are wooden rocking chairs where we sat and enjoyed the show. Pigeon Forge also has some interesting architecture. Take a Look! We had a good time while there, but we won’t miss the traffic. The day we arrived it took us 35 minutes to travel the last 3 miles to our destination. Ouch!

  1. Thanks for sharing more great pics! We want to visit Pigeon Forge this fall, but bummed to hear about the traffic issues. In our VRBO research for cabins to stay in, there were also lots of comments about the traffic. Will definitely look for something out in the country and plan to head into Pigeon Forge very early in the morning to avoid traffic.
