The Island in Pigeon Forge: an easy afternoon into evening

The Island brings restaurants, shopping, and attractions together in one Pigeon Forge destination. The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is its best-known landmark, while the fountain area makes a pleasant place to pause between activities.

This is a flexible outing for a group with different interests: some can browse, others can choose a ride, and everyone can reconnect over a meal. It also pairs well with a relaxed morning at the lodge rather than requiring an early start.

Check the official directory and attraction information before you go. Individual rides and experiences have their own prices and requirements. For a large dining group, contact your chosen restaurant ahead of time about seating arrangements.
