| What's To Do? |
|
If you desire more than just a
relaxing stay here at Carnes' Log Cabins, the Townsend area has a wide
array of activities that you might enjoy. Townsend is nestled
along the Little River, which flows from the National Park through the
five mile stretch of town. You can enjoy tubing, swimming, and
fishing in one of the nation's purest watersheds. Townsend also
has its own bicycle and walking trail with three miles of splendid
scenery.
You can plan on hiking and horseback
riding on National Park trails, exploring at Tuckaleechee Caverns, or
golfing at nearby courses. Just a short drive over the hill lies
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge where you'll find factory outlet malls,
skiing, Dollywood, and other major attractions. |
