Kick Off Summer in the Smoky Mountains
Published Jan 12, 2021
Jumpstart your summer with a memorable Memorial Day weekend at a Smoky Mountain cabin. Don’t wait—reserve a cabin now for three days of fun.
1. Get Outdoors
The Smokies’ natural beauty is at its best as spring melts into summer over Memorial Day weekend. Late May weather is ideal, with days in the low 80s, plenty of sunshine, and cooler evenings perfect for spending around a cabin’s outdoor fire pit.
Explore waterfalls bursting with spring’s rain, like the deep pool at Abrams Falls, or the 80-foot cascade at Laurel Falls (located on a paved, kid-friendly path!). Hike to see breathtaking views from Mount LeConte or visit the observation tower at Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
2. Get Wet and Wild
Nothing says “summer” better than river tubing, floating along a sparkling river in an inner tube, leaving worries behind while you cool off. Want a faster ride? Try whitewater rafting. Even kids can hit the rapids with the Smoky Mountains’ expert rafting guides.
Dollywood’s Splash Country water park opens its 35 acres of fun just before Memorial Day, making the long weekend a great time to indulge in all the water slides and swimming fun you can pack in.
3. Remember the Holiday's Meaning
Honor the country’s military with a visit to Pigeon Forge’s Patriot Park. The park’s walking path beside the Little Pigeon River takes you past the flags of all 50 states and the armed services, creating a peaceful setting for contemplating Memorial Day’s meaning.
4. Relax in a Comfortable Cabin
All that activity calls for some downtime. Kick back in a private rental cabin to recharge before your next summer adventure. With amenities like great kitchens, game rooms, and pool access, you’ll find your cabin home is the perfect retreat. Book your Memorial Day cabin today.
