Day 3

Start
Smith Creek Resort
1
Morning

Start the day entirely at your cabin. Large groups move more smoothly when the morning doesn’t require coordination, so enjoy the on-site waterpark amenities first. Float along the lazy river, relax by the infinity pool, play mini golf, or let kids enjoy the outdoor movie space while others ease into the day. This keeps everyone together without managing multiple vehicles early.

2
Afternoon

Drive approximately 12–15 minutes to The Island in Pigeon Forge. The centralized entertainment complex allows the group to split briefly while staying within one contained area. Attractions like the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, rope course, and open seating areas make it easy to regroup without relocating cars.

3
Evening

Remain in the same Island corridor for dinner at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, known for accommodating larger tables comfortably. After dinner, return directly to your cabin (15 minutes) for a relaxed night without adding another stop.
